my point of view
The past month or so has been over the top busy and I’ve found my time, energy, and momentum for updating this woefully low. That said, life in Sierra Leone has stayed nothing short of complicated and colorful. Have a glimpse from where I’m sitting into all that I’ve been seeing: sandy steps racing forward: varied faces of tempered team work: daily life on bold...

glitchy
When mom said, “You mean it’s not just a tropical vacation party?” I figured it time to speak of the series of minor to major glitches that accompany all the delights of living and working in Salone.

What began with a text message from the president announcing that there was not an impending fuel...

Backlog, May 1: SL celebrations and adventures...
Part of the reason for returning to Freetown after a mere one night away was to join in the raucous celebrations and parties planned for the holiday week. Word of the first, notable affair made it’s way from the capital to me on the beach for good reason: the CEO of Sierra Rutile was hosting his annual Easter Sunday/Independence celebration. At the time I was only informed that there would be...
Backlog, May 1: SL celebrations and adventures...

Wear Sunscreen
Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth...

Satisficing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia →
sunday strategy:
Satisficing, a portmanteau “combining satisfy with suffice”,[1] is a decision-making strategy that attempts to meet criteria for adequacy, rather than to identify an optimal solution. A satisficing strategy may often be (near) optimal if the costs of the decision-making process itself, such as the cost of obtaining complete information, are considered in the...

A raw fucking thing happened when Dean met Carlo Marx. Two total players that they are, they took to each other at the drop of a hat. Two hardcore eyes glanced into two hardcore eyes- the Natty-slugging player with the lacrosse shorts, and the MGD-chugging player with the popped collar that is…
