 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Thursday, 15th of July 2010 at 02:02:39 PM I just had to write about this because my review on Expedia was rejected. Please be careful before you book into this hotel. The El Conquistador Resort – Waldorf Astoria is the farthest things from luxury, glamor or relaxation.
We left after about 10 hours. Here are the lowlights:

 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 11th of July 2010 at 04:51:44 PM The purpose of this post is to give a very short template of what each project should do to work in the Agile framework and with Rally (our project mgmt tool).

My new plan is to [...]
 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 16th of May 2010 at 04:20:06 PM I am trying to harder to make quick updates to the blog. If only I had this magical thing that took my ideas and transcribed them. In that vein here is a little update on what I have done to aquaDRAMA lately that changed me home for the better.
I bought acoustic foam and ran [...]
 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Sunday, 2nd of May 2010 at 10:01:40 AM I would like to posit that we are really in trouble. There are a few quick openers that I want to point out just to get to the serious two:
We are in trouble because of our collective unwillingness to deal with our addiction to oil. Nothing boils my blood more than seeing a h2 with [...]

I appreciate what you and others are doing to help people regarding the closing of the seafood processing plant in Prospect Harbor. I have to ask, however, as a Republican and tied to their near ethically bankrupt views on businesses, isn’t interfering in free market rapacious capitalism against you party line? Don’t actions [...]

Also in there are my tickets to Petra and the Prado. [...]

I was warned this might happen and at this point in the vacation we were both more that used to things in [...]

 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Wednesday, 10th of March 2010 at 02:52:36 PM If I recall this moment, I had been looking out the window at the people sleeping in the mud, the outdoor pit toilets, and the general state of how people live. I started to tear up at one point. It can be overwhelming how people live – the squalor and poverty.
I wanted a [...]
 ✡ Nathan wrote this entry on Tuesday, 9th of March 2010 at 12:05:57 AM Josh and I started out our tour of Delhi by getting a cab to The Red Fort where we wandered around and acclimated ourselves to Delhi.
