Evidence That We are Working

… or at least that we made it to the office. This one’s for you, Michael Monteiro. Here is our walk to the office in a bit more detail. Once we arrived in the office, we built towers with paper cups and straws and plastic forks, made some drawings, put sticky notes up on a […]

Hello, Hyderabad

Receiving Line

We have been so consumed with seeing all this city has to offer (thanks to our diligent welcoming committee of Buildium India) that I haven’t had much of a chance to write after being in Hyderabad for five days now. Here are brief highlights from our first day. We arrived in Hyderabad International Airport around […]

Yotel

Yo! Time

I was quite looking forward to these accommodations that Jane booked for us in London. It was Coryndon’s suggestion, which I enthusiastically supported. It may have lost its luster had we stayed longer, but at the moment, I thought I could have enjoyed staying in one of these for the entire trip. The Yotel is […]

Nickel Tour of London

Ian

Let me now introduce my travel companions. Ian Coryndon Brandon We stayed the night in London en route to Hyderabad, which offered us some fun opportunities. We intended to go into town and find a pub with good beer and bar food. Coryndon made the possibly wise decision to stay in at the Yotel inside […]

Jaunt #1: Boston to London

I met up with my traveling companions / coworkers, Coryndon, Brandon, and Ian bright and early and boarded our flight to London. After walking past the decadent first class terminal, we were greeted in our seats with a pillow, blanket, and a plastic bag filled with a donation envelope that goes to a British Airways […]

Cultural Preparation

In preparation for India, I have been doing some admittedly kitschy research by watching some films and shows that some folks recommended. Of course, I also did some research on Wikipedia, but that’s a topic for another day. Slumdog Millionaire probably would have been a good start, but Emily and I had actually watched it […]

M in India

Hello again, blogosphere! It has been a while. Just wanted to let you know that I’ll be traveling to Hyderabad, India for a work-related trip from 1/13 – 1/26. Three Boston-ish based coworkers and I will be going to do some team building with folks on our India team. I’ll post some short updates here. […]

The Solver of the Rubik’s Cube Was….

Emily. Not much of a surprise to you readers apparently, with Emily leading in the poll all along and finishing with 8 against my 3. Solving the Rubik’s Cube was quite a feat. Em spent a good chunk of time with it over Thanksgiving weekend and consulted some online tutorials. There were some hurdles and […]
