  • I miss California

    Josh on The Cliffs in LJ Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. As the days get shorter and colder here in Chicago, a feeling has been bugging me deep down in my soul. I’m missing California, and the feeling of being at home. I know if I were there now, I’d probably be unhappy about some things.…

  • Size Matters

    MacBook vs. PowerbookOriginally uploaded by Martin Erpicum. I love my Powerbook. It’s tiny. Teenie Tiny. It’s the old G4 12 incher. The really little one. I am convinced that it’s the perfect size. Lately I’ve been thinking about getting a new Macbook, but only because I’d be able to use it for work because it…

  • TerraPass

    I was milling about today on my employer’s internal discussion board and stumbled upon this fun little link. TerraPass sells credits to help negate the CO2 released by one’s car, home, and air flights. I’ve been looking for a way to help heal the world for my car and plane usage…what a cool idea.

  • A note to TWers who visit India

    I just wanted to make a note that the experiences of those who live in the Diamond District’s (infamous?) G-Block live a very different life from those of us who live in other parts of the District. Not that I’m whining, you should just realize that there are some major differences in your experiences. Here’s…

  • It’s not just about the customer, but the users too!

    100_2024 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Just another day at ThoughtWorks, or at least ThoughtWorks University. While we were designing the interface (and experience) for a new internal tool, we involved some real future users. In this photo, the Analyst team is carrying out a study with a low fidelity prototype, which led to a pretty…

  • Partying with the Taj’

    The infamous poseOriginally uploaded by josh.ev9. Sure, I could have posted one of my more skilled shots of the Taj Mahal, but I did not. Instead, the infamous pose. This weekend a group of us went up to Agra, via Delhi, for a trip to the Taj Mahal. That’s the start of the story. Let…

  • My work is the big building ahead on the left

    00007.jpg Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. This is Airport Road, the main road outside the office. We have to cross this road one or more times per day, and the concept of crosswalk doesn’t seem to exist in India…

  • Coconut Graveyard

    00012.jpg Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Up the street from the office in Bangalore lies a coconut graveyard, complete with barbed wire…

  • Independence Day

    Today is Independence Day here in India. That means nobody goes to work, at least in the normal offices. (Restaurants and things tend to be open, I think.) So what does a group of weary foreign travellers do on a day off in India? Well, we go in to the office, of course. We have…

  • Welcome to India!

    IMG_7484 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. I made it here to Bangalore. It was quite a long journey: 2 nine hour flights, back to back. Craaazy. We went from Chicago to Frankfurt, then Frankfurt to Bangalore. It’s nice here, and the office is really cool. Today we’re meeting people from different offices and just sort of…
