Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. What a glorious weekend for football! Not only did the Texans win, but Rice alum James Casey had some great plays! Also Peyton Manning and Brett Favre won. More than that, though, NEITHER RiceContinue reading “Rice Baylor Merger”

Beginnings and Endings
Blogger’s note: I no longer use the term “Redskins” but am leaving my prior references intact in the spirit of learning. Last Wednesday Katie and I went to dinner with an old friend and classmate, Nate, and his lovely wife. Nate and I were two of three Rice computer science 2001 graduates who started upContinue reading “Beginnings and Endings”
Domestic Hippies
I have completed my first week of life back in the US and what a productive week it has been! The time that I have not spent on enistic has been spent on very domestic activities. After unpacking my bags, Katie and I had to spend many evenings sorting through our stuff, deciding what toContinue reading “Domestic Hippies”
Smart Start
For the last two years while I was in Switzerland, I took it upon myself to describe the culture, food, landscape, and people to my faithful readers back home in the US. Now that I am back in the US, I feel the impulse to do the same for the European readers I have developed.Continue reading “Smart Start”
Amsterdam Day 2
In an unexpected twist, I woke up this morning feeling really nauseous. I didn’t throw up but I was tired and definitely not hungry. Boo, bad start! Tomas, Albert, and I enjoyed some male bonding by walking over to the local farmer’s market. This took us past Amsterdam’s 1924 Olympic Stadium, which was pretty cool.Continue reading “Amsterdam Day 2”
Family Time
The weekend was a lot of fun. Nick came into town on Friday so he, Katie, Cox, and I went to dinner at Indika for excellent Indian food. I accompanied mine with a Madras Mojito, featuring chili powder on the rim–awesome! Saturday we took Nick’s son, Aidon, to the zoo, which was a blast. IContinue reading “Family Time”
An Early Win
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”
