So I’m finding that I’ve got shortness of breath all the time out here. I didn’t know before coming, but Addis is one of the highest capitals in the world at over 2300 meters high. I lose my breath just standing up sometimes… it has nothing to do with me being out of shape…
the first encounter was at the Dubai Airport – I was mad scrambling because the boarding card issued said check in was at Gate 33, but the actual gate was at the other end of the airport at Gate 6 – I’m sure it was announced but with all the broadcasts in multiple languages, it’s … Read More

Here’s info on the device that I got forwarded from AK today. To be released shortly and likely will be called: Blackberry 8900c. Basically, take the … Read More
A few years ago, I registered for Plaxo (I’m positive it was pre 2003) – it seemed like an ideal service – help me keep my contacts insync and updated as long as my contacts opt to sign into it as well. Well, that was until I started to realize some of the negative nuances … Read More
