  • Support Maker Faire Africa

    Posted: April 9, 2009, 3:18 am by AfroMusing

    Maker Faire Africa (MFA), a celebration of African ingenuity, innovation and invention, will take place August 13-15 at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT in Ghana’s capital, Accra.

    As one of the contributing editors of AfriGadget, I am incredibly happy to see this event come together. When I started pitching in afew articles on Afrigadget, it was partly because I really liked Emeka Okafor’s idea of ‘A Make Philosophy for Africa’

    A MAKE for Africa will be a non-limited set of values and practical ideas that evolve, germinate, propagate and replicate with informed nudges…

    The upcoming event is Ghana is one giant nudge, that I hope you can support either by spreading the word – grab a badge here, or by donating a small sum towards making Make Faire Africa happen.

  • Let Me Upgrade you…

    I finally upgraded this blog to Wordpress Version 2.7.1. Initially I was worried about the theme not working with the new version, but seems like my apprehension was unfounded.

    I activated several plugins: Notably..

    – Tweet this so you can get your tweet on

    - Mobile press to make viewing my blog on your phone that much more pleasurable. This plugin was created by the good folks at Younique, a social marketing company out of South Africa. @Tylerreed good stuff man. Mobile press works beautifully on Opera and Iphone. I would highly recommend it. Do let me know if you encounter any problem on other mobile browsers.

    - Contact form in the About page

    - I am still trying to figure out how to use Zemanta to deal bring in ‘related’ links for posts.

    Goodies for you:
    A wallpaper that my talented relative Jepchumba designed, click on this image to download it from flickr.

    Link to Beyonce’s video. I shamelessly borrowed the title for this blogpost. Needless to say, the video has bsolutely nothing to do with upgrading wordpress blogs
