  • imason Stair Climb Challenge

    Photo courtesy of Neatorama 2 weeks ago I had a seemingly crazy idea. I challenged my colleagues at imason in a contest to see who could last the longest without taking the elevator. Considering we’re on the 8th floor of our building, I figured there wouldn’t be a myriad of people lined up...
  • Lost on the 'iRun' to Boston

    I am a runner. As a reflex, when I think of who I am, I think of myself first in the context of when I am at my best. In my mind, that is when I am out for a run. The Boston marathon is 1 month today. I am consumed with excitement. I have no lofty expectations for myself with respect to performance....

    Having 2 separate blogs sometimes makes it difficult to decide which blog to post to; especially when writing on a topic that applies to both. I decided to post today’s article to The Urban Country , but I still wanted to capture it here because it’s about Technology. Here’s an excerpt...
  • Fun at imason

    Every day for the 2 weeks leading up to to Christmas, imason gave each employee a small gift. One of the gifts was something of a "confetti canon". A few colleagues and I had wars between us and on one occasion I videotaped Boyan shooting the confetti in a senior co-worker's office. I wanted...
