Three years ago I wrote an blog based on my research around water and making it clean. Coming up in the next several days are a few follow ups on that idea, followed by my first solo attempt at building a cheap filter.
If you've been keeping up with me, I'm in Eastern Africa these [...]

I have to say the Netherlands screwed the cup, but that's not the blowing I was thinking about. It's about 2:30am as I start writing this, and here is what I know. At least 23 people probably closer to 50 people have died in what looks like 2 probably 3 bomb blasts of an unknown [...]

I'm a cheap date, all I want is a $12.50 phone, okay so I can't eat it and it might not be as tasty as a Burundi Royale with Cheese, but it might help calm things a bit here in Burundi. We've got 75 more phones to purchase for the Burundi election monitoring HROC is doing. Donate [...]

Without going nuts and writing a dissertation like I normally seem to get into, I'm going to try and talk about one of the projects what I've been doing for the last several days. As I mentioned, I've got several going on while I'm here in Burundi, the primary of which is implementing a mobile [...]

I'm in Burundi again nearly a year after I first arrived on the African continent. I'll be here for about a month (till late June), working on a bunch of different things. Primarily I'm here to help Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities (HROC) as a technical consultant for the Frontline SMS implementation they are using for [...]

government as a rational tool

In my previous blog I talked about the effectiveness of the RILA on lobbying congress and how it illustrates the methods that FCNL and others teach about changing the face of our legal/policy reality. Something that bothers me about this though, which I did not mention in the blog, is the fairly obvious reality that [...]

Two blogs in one week after such a dry spell, it’s crazy I know, but I’m feeling in the mood to write these days.
I wanted to highlight a few things based on my experience at FCNL, in DC/Congress, and in my understanding of human nature from this excerpt of this article in the NY Times [...]

I have been sick for a good long while now, some where over a month. I think I cleaned my sinuses with water that was treated, but unpurified which started an infection. Initially I thought it was an allergy attack, but some where around week 2.5 after two visits to the doctors here I gave [...]

I just have to say I saw these tombs a few months ago. Things are not going well here in Uganda for students. Check out my facebook page for things going on over the last several days. This came out from the embassy in kampala.

K’la List is alive! In the first 10 days, I’ve gotten 3,000 pageviews 700 visits with an average time of 6 minutes on the site per visit. For those of you who aren’t familiar with website statistics, this is a fairly amazing turn-out for a campaign focused on a country that’s primary medium [...]
