Why the disappearance?

Posted on | October 28, 2009 | No Comments |

The past 5-7 weeks have been largely silent on the blog here. Why, you ask? Well, two reasons: I’ve been working hard on getting my new nonprofit venture webstartAfrica up and running. And, I’ve been studying to take the GRE in December for entry into graduate school in 2010. If this is the first time you’ve heard of webstartAfrica, I encourage you to head on over to the website and read all about it.

Other, more regularly updated, ways of finding out what I’m working on are my personal Twitter, the webstartAfrica Twitter, or simply the webstartAfrica blog. All three are updated more frequently than the blog here (for now).

So, other than the occasional Kiva Pledge Update done every two weeks, this blog might run pretty quiet. That may change in the future, but for now the focus needs to be on webstartAfrica.
