So why did I join Movember this year? For the past couple years, as winter has started to set in, I’ve watched as fellow gents not only adorn winter jackets and wool caps, but also well groomed whiskers, transforming into alter-characters in an attempt to raise awareness for prostate cancer. It has grown to be … Read More

Book Review: Zero Gravity 3*
Date: October 3, 2011
Zero Gravity: Riding Venture Capital from High-Tech Start-up to Breakout IPO I read this book years ago when it first came out (in 2000). I sometimes like to read these types of books again, just to gain perspective. There is so much in this book that is just second nature to people now such as … Read More
Project 12: Month 7: Chilled Carrot-Mango Soup and Mussels in Tomato-Wine Sauce

I’m finally getting around to posting some of the previous month meals. This one is for August. It was pretty easy in terms of choosing ‘what’ to make – nothing in the fridge, so had a complete clean slate to work with. Setting the scene: The day was boiling hot, and I had spent the … Read More

Categories: Random Thoughts
Slowly, Cautiously… foot’s trembling, but stable. Just need to go slowly. It doesn’t seem like anyone has been along this path – the spider webs are huge. Just don’t look backwards. Heights are scary enough and there’s no need to look backwards to see how far I’ve climbed. I’ll do that when I get to … Read More
Book Review: How Soccer Explains the World 2**
Date: August 5, 2011
Categories: All things Cultured, Books
How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization by Franklin Foer My rating: 2 of 5 stars The first couple of chapters were easy reads, but then it seems to just continue along the same lines. Too much of it seemed to be based on unsubstantiated theories – like Iran’s Khatemi’s unlikely victory … Read More

Every engineer, over the years of their career, develops an appreciation for particular design patterns. In general, there are multiple tools that one can pull from for any particular problem, and engineers with different personalities end up with their own customized grab bag of tricks including preferred patterns. My personal favorite pattern was always the … Read More
