Geodog

Geodog is back from Costa Rica

We are back from our month in Costa Rica. We had a fabulous vacation. We learned a little Spanish, met some really nice people, and we had a great time living outdoors, hiking or swimming almost every day. In fact, we had so much fun that we didn't get around to doing all the research we had planned on housing costs, schools, employment opportunities, health care, and all the other details that would be involved in living there in the future. We just played. We also concluded that while we are definitely interested in going to Costa Rica to live for a year to two at some point in the near future, for now we are staying here in Berkeley.

I highly recommend Costa Rica in the summer to anyone looking for a moderately priced vacation with great hiking, great wildlife viewing, great adventures and really friendly people. If anyone is interested, I put a few of the 300+ photos I took up on the web at http://www.thebishop.net/gallery/CRHigh/. Email me for the password if you want to see photos with people in them. If you are interested in my impressions of Costa Rica and travel recommendations, I'll be posting a travel report of sorts here and at Geodog: Costa Rica over the next few days.

I plan to start writing here again, although I am going to try to avoid losing myself in politics again -- it takes up too much time, doesn't feel productive, and there seem to be plenty of people doing a good job exposing the lies of the Bush administration. Now it is time for me to restart the job/entrepreneurial opportunities hunt that I put on hold last spring. I am looking for anything that involves using my analytical, organizational, and people skills (see resume) to work with smart people on an interesting product or project, but I suspect that the easiest way to market myself is going to be as a Software Product/Project/Program manager. I'm hoping to find something in the East Bay or San Francisco, but I'm looking farther afield as well. If you know of any openings or of any interesting companies in the Bay Area that are hiring, feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email.
