Sun Aug 24 14:57:41 2008 Just cannot hold still: I'm already back on the east side of The Pond, in a city called Kumasi in the country of Ghana. Doing training here for the next two weeks, but don't tell the immigration guy: I told him I was here for paragliding.

Tue Aug 19 07:20:19 2008 Back home in foggy San Francisco, and have only this week to prepare for a two-week trip to Ghana starting early Saturday morning.

Tue Aug 12 00:55:17 2008 Went to Kyzyl, Tuva, and now in Abakan waiting to board a four-day train with Karen back to Moscow.

Fri Aug 8 02:03:40 2008 Now in Novokuznetsk with Karen on the way to Abakan and then the Republic of Tuva. Will ride the train from Abakan back to Moscow from the 12th to the 15th.

Wed Aug 6 09:05:45 2008 Saw the eclipse - wow! - and then rushed down to the Altai Mountains for three days of hiking with Karen, looking at 4km high peaks and glaciers. Now in Barnaul trying to figure out how to get to Tuva...

Wed Jul 30 23:15:05 2008 Waiting in Biysk with Karen, Olaf, Alexander, Oleg and Roman, under partly cloudy skies, with a car and driver rented for Eclipse Day tomorrow: fingers crossed!

Tue Jul 29 01:49:35 2008 Now in Novosibirsk with Karen and a mad Dutchman named Olaf. It is hot and rather cloudy and all the girls look like models. Taking the night train to Biysk and expecting to meet the Ukrainians aboard. Have vodka ready...

Currently I am working for a non-profit social enterprise called Inveneo that builds computer technologies for rural communities in the developing world.

Past Adventures

Last summer I hiked most of the Colorado Trail with my friend Bondo, then went to Burning Man.

This year I have been to London and Sierra Leone.

You can read my travelog and look at my photos (coming soon).

Future Plans On August 1st I plan to be in Siberia to view the next total solar eclipse, hike in the Altai Mountains, and visit the mystical land of Tuva. Have a look at the developing plan.

More Pages Coming Soon: Astronomy... T-Shirts I used to wear... Things to ponder... Online tools...
