    Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, New Edition

    Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation

    Dark Star Safari: Overland from Cairo to Capetown
     Author: Paul Theroux

“You ought to tell that story on your blog,” he suggested.

 

Taking his advice, we recount our first personal experiment in globalization and outsourcing – the good and the bad – and share how the development of our logo and business cards took us from the Czech Republic to America, then to Indonesia and Thailand. Continue Reading »
