I'd been wanting to go to The Noguchi Museum since the first time I visited New York City in the early 1990s. I'm pleased to say that, over twenty years later, I finally made the time.

The Cloisters
It's a beautiful Autumn afternoon as Kim and I make our way up to The Cloisters museum. The sun is shining through leaves dappled in fall colors, birds are singing, and there's a happy hum in my heart as the noise and clatter of the rest of the city falls far behind us.
New York City
Push-pull, love-hate, yin-yang. No other city effects on me the way New York does. First of several posts looking back on a recent visit.
SAAS STREAM Grand Opening
Almost four years since work started on the master plan for SAAS' STREAM building, its opening day has finally arrived and the building is full of life -- with students, robots, art, and excitement around every corner.
EL Ideas
It's an intimate set-up with a casual, friendly vibe. There is a loud, eclectic playlist and Breaking Bad art in the restrooms. But the food is serious.

Nick Cave + The Bad Seeds – Part 3 (20,000 Days on Earth)
On our first night in Los Angeles we found ourselves standing in a line that wound around the block at Hollywood’s Egyptian Theater to pick-up will call tickets for a special screening of the new pseudo-documentary about Nick Cave, 20,000 Days on Earth.
SAAS STREAM
Today, only sixteen percent of American high school seniors are proficient or have an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. How, then, do we prove to students that STEM subjects are interesting, important to their future, and that they shouldn't be intimidating?
Chiang Mai – Sunday Market
A tinny PA squarbles some unintelligible noise in the distance, reminding us that the Sunday market is about to kick off. Outside our hotel, Rachadamnoen Road has been wondrously transformed from a hustling, exhaust-filled road choked with cars, tuk tuks, and scooters to a bustling thoroughfare of market stalls brimming with a vibrant array of tastes, smells, sights, and sounds.
