When you arrive at the train station you have to fight your way through the local people trying to give you a ride or sell you something. Once you enter the station look for the desk that se ...

Jaali in the interior of Humayun's Tomb. It was late in the day with the sun lowering in the sky. This presented some great opportunities for watching the light change through the screens.

Antisemitism vs. Antizionism

In another outstanding article, which makes the Economist worth the hefty subscription price, there is an analysis on the difference causes for the rift in support for Israel between America and Europe. While going through historical detail on the basis of left vs. right politics and how both have changed in all three locations cause [...]

Eulogy: Death of The American Dream

In front of Twilo maybe 8 years ago, maybe longer, I was berated by Sean B. and George M. because I was taking a stance about sending garment production to Asia. I maintained that it was fundamentally un-American to allow your neighbors to loose their jobs so that you could have the perception of cheaper [...]

Jimmy Carter, I Love You

In a speech given by one of most maligned presidents since Andrew Jackson:

And I’m asking you for your good and for your nation’s security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to [...]

It is only a t-shirt, or is it?

A known anti-war advocate was waiting to get on his flight at JFK wearing a t-shirt saying, in Arabic, “We will not be silent.” It shows the craziness, ignorance, and the great lengths our government is taking to make our skies safe. But, in fairness, it seems like the TSA just yawned at him, while [...]

Can Biodiesel Save Rural America?

Listening to NPR this morning there was a fun report on the topic of biodiesel. The more and more I read about the subject, the more I think this just might be it!

Hand-painted biodiesel fuel tanks at Carl’s Corner. “We want to create an alternate fuel city. Wind power, diesel power, solar power, soybeans, [...]

Do We Need UN Election Monitors?

You have to be dead to not recall the pain and suffering caused by the last two presidential elections. It was simply embarrassing to have the supposed standard bearer of democracy show that it has the same problems as the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have continued to allow bug business and wealthy power brokers [...]

Spain (incomplete move from old site)

The Trip started Tuesday night with a trip to JFK. Nothing eventful happened at all. We boarded the flight and made our way to Spain via Iberia.

Wednesday 8th of September

The jet from JFK arrives late to Madrid Barajas and we miss the connection to Barcelona and we fear that we might miss our [...]

Mexico w/Idan

Idan has been traveling through Mexico for over a month and was around the Cancun area. I looked online and found a good deal to go visit him for a 4 days weekend. In total the trip would cost about 300$. I figured staying in a resort would give him nice break from his backpacking [...]

This trip has 2 parts – to hang out in Zurich and see my family members there and be at the ETH and then to go to the opening of the Locarno International File Festival in Locarno, Switzerland in the Kanton if Tessin.The few days I spent at the start of the week in Zurich [...]

Fall Trip Around Puerto Rico

After a whirlwind tour of Italy and a few days at work, I took off for Puerto Rico early Friday morning.

When I arrived at the airport the lines were immense and I had no idea if I would make it on the jet in time. It left at around 4am for a 7am departure, [...]
