Fountains. I am a fan. I always find myself taking a break to relax, unwind, and enjoy the cityscape around fountains. Big, small, historic, or just simply communal – fountains inspire and energize. When in Mexico City, I worked as a consultant for Banamex. And when I think of my favorite spots in Mexico City […]

A Test with an Apple

A Test with an Apple

by on April 25, 2010 in Reflection

A test. We all receive them. My most recent came this past week. I returned from my travels to the confirmation I feared. My hard drive was corrupt; data unsalvageable.
