Staying at the Best Western in Bali. Yes, we can travel the world and still be reminded of summer vacations at the Straits of Mackinac.

Apr 28

Found our tropical paradise today. Th beach on Gili Trawangan, a small island off west Lombok. Emerald sea, quiet. Spent hours far from care

Apr 28

Saw two native monkeys frolicking along the road in west Lomboktoday. By "frolicking," I mean probably scavenging food.

Lombok's tourists. They're predominantly white Europeans. Judging by accents and appearances, seem to be mainly Germans. Keep to themselves

A2: #bigdatamgmt Big barrier to enterprise risk mgt is getting beyond reactive "cover yr a**" decision making. Risk mgt should be proactive

May 21

A2: #bigdatamgmtChief barrier to ent risk mgt is cultural: business thrives on action-oriented reward-seeking, Tunnel vision re full risks?

If anything, Bali's traffic congestion is more maddening than Java's. In Bali's favor: gorgeous temples to ogle while stuck in your car.

KutaBeach, Bali. Walking alone, girls off shopping. Until I open my mouth & reveal nationality, just another Aussie on fair dinkum holiday

Bali is definitely more built-up than the last time we visited. International vibe.

Interesting to see people commenting on stuff I'd almost forgotten I'd posted. Let my words do the work while I relax far far away.

Staying at the Best Western in Bali. Yes, we can travel the world and still be reminded of summer vacations at the Straits of Mackinac.

Apr 28

Found our tropical paradise today. Th beach on Gili Trawangan, a small island off west Lombok. Emerald sea, quiet. Spent hours far from care

Apr 28

Saw two native monkeys frolicking along the road in west Lomboktoday. By "frolicking," I mean probably scavenging food.

Apr 28

Lombok's tourists. They're predominantly white Europeans. Judging by accents and appearances, seem to be mainly Germans. Keep to themselves

Apr 27

Watching some atrocious German TV singing program where regular folks butcher Beatles classics. But none attempt "Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand"

· Apr 27

When in Indonesia, I present myself as an exotic wisenheimer from th east. East of th Pacific, the Mississippi, & that end of FairfaxCounty

In Lombok, Bali's less touristy, more affordable, and still exotic neighbor. The emerald ocean and quiet beaches are worth it.

Trying to decide whether to tell Indonesians I focus on "big data" or "informasi besar." Which sounds cooler? Which has hi-tech mystique?

No photo does justice to the Indonesian automotive experience. Need shakycam video of constant braking & weaving thru nonstop congestion

Indonesian TV tends to play the same limited set of commercials over & over. I saw the "white coffee with a kick" spot 8 times on 1 program

· Apr 25

As you get higher up on Mt Bromo, every square foot is under cultivation. Even the steepest slopes . I saw people farming 60-degree inclines

Apr 25

Street masseuse gave me a fast, deep rub at a great price just before leaving the resort at Bromo. He kneaded the shoulders perfectly.

· Apr 25

My long love affair with Java deepened on the slopes of Mt.Bromo. Most extraordinarily fertile, beautiful place I've ever been. Shangri-La.

· Apr 24

Enjoying the volcanic tour of East Java. Massive mud geyser aftermath south of Surabaya. Mount Bromo's spectacular broad desertlike caldera

Apr 23

Most people on Facebook have exactly 2 events on their timelines: they were born & they joined Facebook. A full life, by any reckoning!

Here in Surabaya, Indonesia's 2nd city. A fairly well-developed industrial base. I prefer their airport to Jakarta's. More spacious.

Caught good Seattle profile at 4am Jakarta time on my sister-in-law's satellite TV. In lieu of sleep. Cool soggy to offset warm humid.

· Apr 20

Reading a book my nephew gave me about Jakarta's history back to Bataviadays. District around Setasiun Jakarta Kota is obviously ancient

· Apr 20

Oddly, I still can't completely internalize the street map of the parts of Jakarta I know reasonably well. Even GPS doesn't help me.

· Apr 20

Jakarta. This is my 6th time here. The rhythms of my sister-in-law's neighborhood are pretty much the same. I like the predawn street quiet.
