I have met a number of engineers from Russian and Eastern European countries in the software industry in California. I have heard that Math and Engineering is given a lot of importance there. How true is that and do you have any thoughts on that?

And I thought Kal was the crazy one!

Did you grow up in Eritrea or Canada? I love Ethiopian and Eritrean food...any suggestions on how to differentiate between the two of them?

I just got back from Japan and met some friendly Nepalis running some great restaurants!

What does it mean to be a Kurd? I know that Kurds live in many countries in the region - notably Iran, Iraq and Turkey. But what brings you together or separates you from Arabs? Language, religion or something else?
