Nothing like working on a computer in a corn field! With the modern wonders of usb wireless modems to connect into the mobile phone's network and the added benefit of having a netbook which inherently has a long battery life, I can perch myself, seated Thai style on the fertile ground among the corn plants, communicating with half the world, albeit agonizingly slowly at times.

Vizini
Vizini (Reviewed: Jul 2010) - Where better to test out a product meant to be worn in the sun then the sunny state of Hawaii.

Colca Canyon, Peru – July 2010

Greetings from rural Ghana
12 hours prior, I was walking along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC just down from the White House. 3 hours after touching down in Accra, the capital city of Ghana in Western Africa I was in the middle of the rural countryside far removed from the hub of activity in the two nation's capital cities. I arrived in Ghana and walked down the jet-way to the tarmac welcoming the warm sun, heat and humidity that only the tropics can deliver. With … [Read more...]
