So now the main question on everyones mind seems to be... are you excited to be leaving for India? Well, I am at the spot where I am ready to get this show on the road. I got my last vaccination today (well until the spring), I also received my electronic tether yesterday. Yup, Blackberry "World Edition". It means the company never has to wonder "where in the world is Charles?"... they can just call me.

I am also trying to soak up some flavor of the local business and social climate. I did read a fascinating (or at least I thought so, since I am a tech and business model nerd) WSJ Article on how innovation in India has focused on the poor and the interesting business models that it is driving.

The football team is now 8-0, the acting debut is still 11/6, and I am STILL headed to India on 11/7.
