Drones
So I've been contemplating the drone war, and in particular this recent killing of an American citizen in the midst of war. He was a Tim McVeigh …but the difference was whether he had had his rights abused in his killing. I remember a op-ed piece in the WSJ back in 2004 when John Kerry [...]

A week at home – technical analysis

Instapaper and my Kindle
So there are things you learn on Google+ that I don't see the equivalent of on my Facebook feed. There are times where there's a public article or some content on the web that I want to read, but I don't have the time. I could save a bookmark, and read it later. Then [...]

Father's Day…
We called my father "Baba". This being amusing to the other kids we grew up with, some of them took to calling him "Baba" since that was easier than "Mr. Chakmakjian". I remember, he called his own father "Baba" also. In some ways, my father was "Baba" to all of whom he crossed paths. He [...]
