West-Bound and Down

Dear happy readers,

You may have noticed the month's lag and general neglect of this site. I attribute it to many factors, the first of which being sloth.

In truth, I have bee nbusy preparing the next stage of my life. I will be returning to the United States for good on October 15th. I'm moving to Arlington, Virgina, and will be working in the marketing and analytics unit of a VC-funded energy efficiency start-up called OPOWER. It should be a dynamic stretch role in a fast-moving company, and I am very excited about it. I urge you to check out the company here and note that Obama himself has already spoken there on cleantech jobs.

I am back and forth between DC and Dubai for interviews, homecoming and wrapping up my time here at Monitor. I had a good expat year, and great first job, but am ready to return to America to vote on things and express my various rights and sundry liberties.

I will be wrapping up the blog over the course of this next month, posting photos from my trips to Jordan and Nepal, as well as my outlook for the region.

Thank you for reading thus far. If my antics are wild or random enough in Arlington, which I will strive to make happen, look for a similar blog to come. In the meantime, please enjoy this documentary about my new abode.

  6. I think whаt you posted made a ton of sensе.
    But, think abοut this, suppose you typed a catchier post tіtle?
    I mеаn, Ι don't want to tell you how to run your website, however what if you added a post title to possibly get people's attentіon?

    I mean "West-Bound and Down" iѕ a lіttle plain.
    Yοu could look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create news headlines to get viewers interested. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've written.
    In mу opiniоn, it might make youг website a littlе bit moгe interesting.
