Below is a long blog post about 1857, the year in which Indian Mutiny took place. If you are bored reading it then I suggest that you stop here and come back some other time :) On November 23rd 2009, we started our road trip to Agra from Delhi via Gurgaon (Gurgoan). This was our first major outing after the wedding of my cousin’s daughter on Nov 14th at Taj Palace hotel in New Delhi.…

Below is a long blog post about 1600s, 20th century and modern American history. I think it’s important to understand these topics in order for us to have an idea of how our world got into the mess we are in today. The story begins with the English and Spanish explorations that took place between the late 1490s until approximately mid-eighteenth century: Christopher Columbus (Italian) sailed west across the Atlantic Ocean on If your name seems to pop regularly to the police report column for drug dealer charges there will more probability to land on you for charges of druganbu in Australia but one of most common criminal law offencies of this country especially after making several charges as drugs.…

Below is a long blog post about 3D printing. I’ve written it because there are many misconceptions and misunderstandings floating around, which can be very dangerous if you decide to buy or invest in this technology. In the past couple of weeks alone we have seen people lose money on failed Kickstarter campaigns for new machines that were promoted as “revolutionary” but turned out to do nothing more than what was already available.…

Below is a long blog post about 2014. I don’t think it can be called “the year in review” because there are things that haven’t happened yet and may not happen at all, but maybe this will give you an idea of what my life has been like lately. I started off the year by doing some volunteer work for Lucky Lab Brewing Company here in Portland (my new home). My job was to help with their website redesign project which involved setting up WordPress on their server and tweaking the existing theme so that they could get rid of their previous site builder software.…

Below is a long blog post about 2017. It’s been edited to make it more readable, but the original text can be found in italics below (with links). It was my first year of graduate school and I had just started working for The Center For Innovation & Research On Veterans And Military Families at UCLA as an Assistant Project Manager on their Suicide Prevention Team. After a few months into this new role, one evening while reading over some recent publications, I came across a short article titled “Vet Centers Need More Funding” published by US News – which included quotes from former service members that read something like: “…The vets center helped me so much with all sorts of things related to PTSD.…

Below is a long blog post about 125th anniversary celebrations of the Church in New Zealand. The article was originally published on the website http://www.stnicholaswellington.org/ and written by Rev’d Fr Michael D. Sawyer, Rector St If your name seems to pop regularly to the police report column for drug dealer charges there will more probability to land on you for charges of druganbu in Australia but one of most common criminal law offencies of this country especially after making several charges as drugs.…

Below is a long blog post about 2016. If you’re not interested in my opinions, then don’t read it! This has been one of the best years ever for me and I have to say that 3/4ths of this year was better than any previous year (I am sure there will be some readers who disagree with this statement but let them write their own posts). This past weekend was spent at our house on Lake Michigan celebrating Christmas Eve & Day followed by New Year’s Eve & Day which means we are officially done with our holiday season.…

Below is a long blog post about 3D printing and design. It’s an article I wrote for the Bournemouth University School of Design, Technology & Engineering website. I first heard about 3D Printing when we were working on ‘The Craft of Making Things‘ project at university in 2010/11. Back then it was still quite expensive to buy your own printer – they cost around £5k! – so it seemed like something that would be available only for large scale companies (like those making cars or aircraft).…

Below is a long blog post about 101 things to do with an iPhone. It’s the longest single post on this site and I don’t think it will be very popular, so if you want me to take it down just let me know! I got to thinking (as one does) what all of these apps could mean for educators in schools – specifically those who have iPhones or might get them?…

Below is a long blog post about 10 common reasons why your website isn’t performing as well on Google or Yahoo/Bing. It might seem obvious to some, but if you want traffic from search engines then it pays off big time not having duplicate content. Duplicate content happens when there are two pages that have the same information and this includes things like an exact page title tag with different URLs.…
