Exciting day!

Amy has decided to join me in my online adventures by setting up a website on my site! It’s work related, and she refuses to write anything about herself on there, but I guess that’s fine—everyone will just have to learn about how cool she is through her work instead.
Anyway, setting up the page was [...]

Slow news month….

Man, where has September gone? I don’t quite know what happened this month, but it certainly flew by.
Well, a lot has actually happened. For starters, I turned 28 towards the beginning of the month—and Amy and I got to celebrate our four-year wedding-proposal anniversary. My website design for the Centre for Micro Finance where I [...]

School news….

A little too patriotic looking for me, but I’m still happy with it.
Well, I’m now halfway through my master’s degree. Six classes more to go and I’ll be done. My most recent class was pretty interesting. It was a class on curriculum design, and during the class, we looked at different (broader) views and definitions [...]

Madurai

Just one of the many temple shots you can find in the Madurai photo gallery
Last weekend, Amy and I accompanied the CMF interns to Madurai. We got a chance to visit a microfinance institution (MFI) and a non-gonvernmental organization (NGO) that works with self-help groups (SHG). How’s that for a slew of acronyms?
Madurai seemed like [...]

Anniversaries

A little over nine years ago, Amy gave me a kiss on my neck while I was saying goodbye to her on the front porch at 729 De La Vina street after our first date. I wanted to kiss her back, but my body reacted by running away quickly—but not nearly as quickly as my [...]

Singapore… and then no more….

Well, my silly moving around is almost over…. I’m currently in front of a free internet kiosk killing time in the Singapore airport. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi is not free, so I can’t use my own computer, which would have been ideal, but this seems to be fine anyway….

Chillin’ in Thailand

… in some nice steamy weather….

As with my flight over to India, I had a rediculous layover in Bangkok again. It turns out that the layover was ok though—I got a chance to work on some of my upcoming papers so maybe my time in CA will be a little bit less hectic….
So, this time [...]

March was a slow month….

March was a slow month, except when it wasn’t…. Which was most of the time by the way. And it still hasn’t really let up throughout this month, hence the lack of updates to this site. I know, it’s not a great excuse, but it’s the only one that I have at the moment.
Life has [...]

Can I kiss you now, already?

Today is the 2 year and 5 month anniversary of Amy and my wedding. We got married at a park in Santa Barbara, and this short video was taken by one of our guests.
The song in the background is Etta James’s At Last, and was the song we used for our “first dance.” I thought [...]

Happy New Year 2006

Wow. 2006 already. Time for resolutions and so on, if I did those sort of things
2005 was pretty good for me. Amy graduated from her master’s program, and we wrapped up our short stay in Cambridge, Mass., to return to Santa Barbara. I was lucky enough that Peoples’ Self-Help Housing took me back onboard as [...]
