Wow. I’ve seen Colombia and for the most part I’m pretty pleased with how things went. A friend from high school (and we lived together for a year in college) has been volunteering down there for a few months now. Naturally, another friend and I decided to go visit him.

I’ve traveled quite a bit lately and have been working on being able to entertainingly come up with some common passenger profiles. Here are a few more of my findings:

The laptop wielding road warrior: Two trips in a row have I sat next to a woman who insists on working on a spreadsheet or e-mail [...]

I’ve done a bunch of flying in the last few months (for work and training). I still get a little excited every time I fly. Airports have so many people and airplanes have so many people in a small spot. This means excellent people watching. I’ve come up with some of my favorite passenger profiles:

For those of you who don’t speak nerd, I’m going to the South-by-Southwest Conference in Austin, TX on Friday (through Tuesday). I’ll be attending the ‘Interactive’ conference which is a lot of people from the internet who think they’re forward thinking, amazing individuals.
In reality, it’s a lot of parties put on by a lot of [...]

Community Next is bridging Silicon Valley to the land of silicone with The Next Generation of Media and the Web happening Saturday, March 29 in West Hollywood.

Tis the season where family and friends start asking the dreaded: what do you want for Christmas? My parents finally dropped it on me. I was actually talking to Rachel about this and she made a very excellent point:
At this stage in my life I don’t need more “things.” I’m at [...]

The Starbucks in the Forbidden City (China) was closed. I think I’m going to make myself a t-shirt and try to sell it. “I went to the Forbidden City and all I got was this lousy latte.” But seriously, I went to that Starbucks and now nobody else will be able to. Crazy. (More stories [...]

I’ve started collecting my thoughts, notes, pictures, and stories from my China travels. I’ll be blogging at china.devinreams.com. Stop by, subscribe, and enjoy my musings.

My throat is sore from the Shanghai pollution but it was worth it. China was awesome. I’ve got some pictures up on Flickr now. Click around and leave your comments. A lot of stuff I did wasn’t documented with photos so I will be making a China journal in the coming days. Now I’ve got [...]
