		<title>errorspotting.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if Kenny and I did not have enough blogs already, we have recently launched yet another, inspired by some frustrating experiences that we’ve had as software developers – and consumers – during our sabbatical. Errorspotting.com aims to humiliate software developers and designers everywhere into creating better error messages and fallback experiences when something goes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aniello&#8217;s (Diani, Kenya)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: While in Diani, we ate our best non-Olive Branch meal at a cute little Italian place called Aniello’s, recommended by Hassan from Kenyaways. The place has a romantic atmosphere, and seems to be a popular hangout for visiting Italians. Unfortunately the mood lighting made photography with our point-and-shoot difficult. But we [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Olive Branch (Galu, Kenya)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: The stretch of sand occupied by Kenyaways, where we spent most of our time over the past four days, is a bit isolated from the action of Diani, to the north. Even beach resorts and hotels are quite spread out on that part of the coast. As such, it is extremely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hallimane (Bangalore, India)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: Hallimane was one of the best restaurants that Archana introduced me and Kenny to last fall, and we returned this week with our Seattle friends for a decadent lunch feast. It is conveniently located in Malleswaram, just a short walk from Sean and Archana’s apartment and an even shorter walk from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Som Tam Hut (Mae Hong Son, Thailand)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: On our first day in Mae Hong Son, a crazy lady in the morning market realized, as we were inspecting her “for rent” sign, that we were in search of an apartment. She didn’t speak any English, so she dragged us by the arm to a small restaurant on the main [...]]]></description>

		<title>The View from Thailand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had mixed feelings (but mostly good ones) about being overseas during the health care debate. On the one hand, it&#8217;s been nice to avoid the incessant talk about health care reform and only peek in on the debate from afar when I feel like it. Being at home for the last year of drawn-out [...]]]></description>

		<title>EnergySavvy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m still roaming around the world on my sabbatical (currently in Thailand), but I was excited to hear from my good friend Aaron today. He and his fellow green startup-ers have officially launched EnergySavvy, a portal for homeowners to get information about making their homes more energy efficient. The site will inform you about government [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dosa Corner (Phnom Penh, Cambodia)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: With all due respect to Khmer food, Phnom Penh seemed like a great place to sample some international fare. We passed by Dosa Corner, in BKK1, during our walk down to Tuol Sleng, and decided that we would return later for dinner to satisfy our growing cravings for South Indian food. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hotel Fanoos (Bangalore, India)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: Hotel Fanoos is a hole-in-the-wall establishment in Johnson Market, a Muslim quarter of town, serving up delicious grilled meats from the tandoor, rotis, and shwarmas for rock-bottom prices. Sean took us on a walk over there one evening recently when we were working late in the Babajob office. I had been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ketan (Mandrem, India)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cross-posted from http://lawolf.net. Rating: Next door to the Dunes is a cute little family-run guesthouse and vegetarian restaurant called Ketan. At Rs100 (about $2), their vegetarian thali is the most expensive, but also one of the most delicious, I’ve had in India. It’s also large enough that Kenny and I can share one for lunch [...]]]></description>
