As many of you know by now, I have stepped full time into founding a US-based green technology company, enistic. US businesses spend over $9b each year on energy for office equipment–$1b of which is for equipment that isn’t even in use. enistic reduces office equipment energy consumption 20+% with wirelessly monitored power strips thatContinue reading “An Early Win”

Back in Lausanne
After a HOT week in Houston (albeit one that was bookended by gorgeous weather in Minnesota and Virginia), it feels great to be back in Lausanne. It is also very nice to be reunited with my team at Poken, although half the team is in San Francisco right now so I won’t catch up withContinue reading “Back in Lausanne”
Long Time, No Blog
Sorry I’ve been off the scene for a while. Coming back from Italy there was a lot to do at work before gallavanting off to the US for the Nolte-Rakowitz wedding. Then, once over there, there was a lot to do trying to keep things moving forward remotely. My time in the US was veryContinue reading “Long Time, No Blog”
Rice + Baylor == Yay!
Other than the split infinitive, I am very pleased to see the following: March 26, 2009 To the faculties, staffs and students of Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University: We are pleased to announce that the governing boards of Rice and BCM this week approved the signing of a memorandum of understanding that laysContinue reading “Rice + Baylor == Yay!”
Happy 1/23/45!
To all of my readers who understand what I mean, happy 1/23/45! Although I spent most of the day working, I did manage to sneak outside for an hour to play catch with a former professional baseball player in sunny, 75-degree weather. I also had a nice dinner with my favorite dining companion (Happy birthdayContinue reading “Happy 1/23/45!”
Back in H-Town
Before signing on with Poken in December I had a previous obligation to attend an Association of Rice Alumni board meeting in Houston January 23 – 24. I could have nipped back for just a quick weekend but the airfare was literally an order of magnitude less expensive to come back for the entire week.Continue reading “Back in H-Town”
Fight For Rice, Rice Fight On
The mighty Rice Owls completed one of their best seasons in school history last night when they beat the Western Michigan Broncos 38-14 in the Texas Bowl. We tailgated all afternoon with beer, sausage, and cheese. Cox and I, undefeated Champions of the Universe in two-on-two ocean football, added to our accolades as all-time undefeatedContinue reading “Fight For Rice, Rice Fight On”
Houston
It is great being back in H-town. I just went for an early morning run in 70-degree weather around Memorial Park. True, Memorial is not as scenic as Lac Leman, but it is a welcome change that there are many other people out there running too–many of whom are pushing strollers and pulling along (orContinue reading “Houston”
Happy Rice Day!
Happy Rice Day to all! To commemorate the occasion I had dinner last night with 12 Rice alumni/friends in the area. We sat around fondue pots in the private room of a local restaurant exchanging stories for hours. As in Kenya everyone was amazed at how many Rice connections there were in the area and,Continue reading “Happy Rice Day!”
Rice Football
Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. And speaking of football, my Redskins weren’t the only team to do well this weekend. Saturday after the Association of Rice Alumni board meeting, I had the pleasure to attend a Rice football gameContinue reading “Rice Football”
