Google Expanding Africa Presence

Interesting news bit from techcrunch. It's almost impossible not to see Africa as a land just waiting to be exploited by big businesses in search of new markets and cheap labor once you've been to a place like India where that's been happening for several years now. This could be exciting and a good opportunity to go to beautiful Africa for western IT people.

I wrote a longer post on the topic of IT in Africa and India just about a month ago.

Community Supported Agriculture

From a colleague: Local Harvest. I think this is a great idea. You can search for a farm near you and commit to support it and in return you get a share of the crops for your kitchen.
