Give me SEACOM! Or at least my 3G modem. Nairobi Internet speeds are so 1999. I am currently in the Peace Corps HQ in Nairobi waiting for a dentist appointment to occur. Don’t worry, my teeth are fine, just trying to figure out a sensitivity on one of them. Better safe than sorry. I blame [...]

Off on an adventure… or two… or three…
Ok Folks, this may be the last update you get from me for a while? Oh, who am I kidding, I always find a way, but just to cover my bases, i’ll pretend like this is it for about a month! “A MONTH!!!” you shout at your computer screen. I know you will all survive [...]

I’m telling you, it’s like a cartoon….
I was riding my bike between the library and computer lab today, en route to do some tech support, when the pedal and pedal bracket just fall off. Just like that. Plunk, on the ground and my left foot just dangling. I’m telling you, this bike is like a cartoon bicycle falling [...]

Introspection on Work Mentality
What does it mean to get the job done? Well, I am starting to find out some of my own quirks when it comes to my getting the job done. The biggest quirk is most evident in my blog writing style and my coding style. And note, I am intentionally trying to break my blog [...]

Some Thoughts ON America
Aright Peace Corps, you won, you secretly completed your mission, you are making me a slight patriot. I will still throw in the slight. As anyone who knew me before would know, I was always just as critical of the American government as the next, ready to jump ship to Canada to avoid a draft [...]

Oh Yeah, I forgot to mention
The dysentery is finished. Good old ciprofloxicin killed it off quickly. General Purpose anti biotics are lifesavers here.
