Fever in India
On Wednesday I came home early from work with a 101 degree fever. I've been traveling in-and-out of malaria & dengue fever zones for the past 2 months, so my first thought was: get to the hospital for a diagnosis--this could get bad, fast. For some reason, I had no other major symptoms. Despite weakness, chills, and pain, I walked myself to the nearest ER--less than

Fever in India - Hobo Hacker

On Wednesday I came home early from my work in Bangalore, India with a 101 degree fever. I'm damp with a mild euphoric, dissociative trance reminiscent of years past experiments with Ketamine. I try to sit up straight, but my head hits the top of the rickshaw.

Bamboo Workshops in Auroville
This weekend I'm dodging cows, dogs, and goats on my moped through the streets of Tamil Nadu. The engine lets out a constant scream as I ride full-throttle at 40 kph. My usual preference for a cycle is impractical for this weekend's agenda--I'm attending a Bamboo work

My usual preference for a cycle is impractical for this weekend's agenda--I'm attending a Bamboo workshop at the Bamboo Center in Auroville.

Palaces, Temples, and selfie requests
I'm at a zoo in Mysore. A man holding a baby asks me in broken english to take his photo, but does not hand me a camera. Confused, I hold out my hands; he hands me his baby--who immediately starts to cry.

My first trip East
I'm on a plane reading when the intercom announces breakfast. I check my GPS; I'm flying over Stockholm. It occurs to me that this is the furthest I've ever been from home in the Northern Hemisphere.

I look out the window and see a marvelous metropolis shining its pre-dawn city lights, which is a nice refreshing change from the endless stretch of the A

My first trip East - Hobo Hacker

The ground below in Pakistan is brown, but then changes sharply to a fertile landscape. I see a wide river, and I learn that I'm flying over the Indus.
