Well, I've done my 2 years (2 and a quarter to be exact) in Kuwait, went home, and now I'm in Islamabad for another 11 months. Also I'm engaged to the most awesomest girl out there. And I got a PS3 and XB360 and a Wii.

Pretty sure that sums up the last 3 years that I've looked at this blog.

Skype rules, and I know whats in Heinz!

P.S. So Skype rocks! I just downloaded it, got a few credits worth of SkypeOut (Lets me call POTS phones), and was able to talk with folks back home. $1 worth of credit for over an hour of talk-time back home. I was a skeptic of VoIP until today, but so far, I'm a convert.

Tomorrow I want to get up early (before noon?) and head out to the desert somewhere. Hopefully there will be some decent shots.

In true slashdot style, FIRST POST!

So here I am in Kuwait. Its like being on another planet. A planet populated by really bad drivers. Left turns from right lanes is par for the course. Words cannot describe it; its worse than anywhere in the US I've seen; worse than NYC, worse than Boston, than Seattle, than Washington DC. INSANE!! Today, driving up Arabian Gulf Road, I saw a dude on a crotch rocket pull a half-mile wheelie, and then putting both wheels down, and doing a FRONT wheelie. In heavy traffic, no less.

Anyway, I decided to put this up, because I'm a little bored - theres a 3-day holiday here due to Eid-al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan.

I'm going to wrap this up, but I hope to be able to post some pictures along with this.
