Why h1bpositive?

Four years in America on an immigrant worker's H1B Visa gave me a special appreciation that not all our compasses point to the same North on this planet - even though we speak the same language.

England and America - 'two nations separated by a common language' and all that.

Here's a few musings about then and now - mine, and some from people I know, who write like the virtuoso I long to be.

Disclaimer & Stuff

It's important to note that this is my personal blog. I currently work for Luna Tractor based in Melbourne in Australia, who have a website and blog of their own - everything in this blog, absolutely everything in all forms, is my own personal opinion about things I'm interested in - music, bikes, history, travel and suchlike.

If you're looking for stuff on agile beyond IT, software engineering, organisational change and space, head to the Luna Tractor website now.
