A good day for coding
Here’s what it looks like outside: I didn’t know when this day dawned, but it’s a good day for coding. I’ve been a little off the past several days (quiet, Bruce), so today has been good for me. My time spent searching for and finding a bug, then restructuring a lot of code to get […]
The Ethnos360 Logo
On the team I’m part of, some brilliant and creative people have been working hard over months to get a logo together that visually represents who we are and what we do. Here’s what they produced: I love it! The 360 in our name basically stands for “Around the World”, so a circular or globe […]

New Flipboard Magazine
As some of you know, being “Enroute” to my ministry with NTM does not mean that I haven’t started yet. There’s a lot going on in my department (Communications) at the NTM USA home office, and there’s even some work I can contribute to remotely. In the last two weeks, I’ve been able to be […]
