Made my day

8.45am in the morning, I've just walked into work, and Seba calls me from Dubai.

Me: Eiii baba what is up?
Seba: Eiii baba.
Me: Where are you?
Seba: I'm in Dubai, and I need your help.
Me: What's up?
Seba: I'm DJ'ing tonight, and I have my iPod and CDs.
Me: Eiii DJ Seba... yeah, ok, and?
Seba: I'm looking at the <blah blah blah> controller...
Me: I don't know it man, I need to see what you're looking at.
Seba: OK, but it's the <blah blah blah> thing. How do I connect my iPod to this thing?
Me: Well... you'll probably need an RCA-to-Mini cable.
Seba: What is that? <woman giggling in the background>
Me: It's got two RCA plugs on one end, and one Mini jack to plug into your iPod on the other <assuming he's in a store>
Seba: So how do I mix between tracks?
Me: Well you would need 2 iPods and 2 of those cables, unless you have an iPod mixing console.
Seba: <more giggling in the background> We have 2 iPods.
Me: Eiii... DJ Seba... you're set boss, just get 2 of those RCA-to-Mini cables.
Seba: OK but how do I change the volume and stuff.
Me: I can't see what you're looking at boss... just fiddle with the dials and you'll figure it out.
Seba: Alright boss... any recommendations?
Me: Nah, I trust you've been taught well. Eiii DJ Seb.
Seba: Haha alright, later guy.
Me: Later guy.

Tanzania is not Tasmania

Dear friends: Please let's stop refering to Tanzania as Tasmania. Here is why. Tanzania is located on the coast of East Africa, below Kenya. It is not origin of the the cartoon character from your childhood. Tasmania is an island which is part of Australia. The animal known to exist only on Tasmania is the Tasmanian Devil. Once again, you will see this is not the cartoon character you remember from your childhood. Let's summarize: Tanzania is not Tasmania.

Policy Brief 2: Why is Tanzania Poor?

(Policy Brief # 2 Submitted December 6th 2007, for Econ 346 - Economic Development, Lafayette College) Over the course of the 20th century, Tanzania experienced a multitude of social, political and economic changes. It still remains poor today. The WorldBank classifies a ‘low income country’ – such as Tanzania – as one with a Gross National Income per capita of $905 or less (WorldBank Data 2006). As of 1992, Tanzania ’s per capita income was recorded at $110, and average per capita consumption was $0.5 per day (OECD 2000). Several possible factors have been blamed for contributing to current hardships, such as Julius Nyerere’s failed attempts to collectivize agriculture between 1961 and 1975 through his socialist Ujamaa policies as the first president of Tanzania (Pratt 1980). While pre-independence plans “focused on the commercialization of agriculture and the creation of industries that could reduce the need for a variety of imports”, post-independence interventions by the Gov

Thoughts caught up

Well hello friends, It's been a while since I wrote a post. I say this all the time, I am aware. But this time is a little special. Let's begin with a sample >> Edx - Casa Grande Now, there are times when we don't really know what we think we know. That is, physically, in this material world, we find things that happen to occur in our lifetimes, or within the realm of things we know during our lifetimes, that make it seem as though we can prove what we know. This is a completely understandable way of proving things. However, every so often, a human feels a vibe; of appreciation, of pluralism, of kinmanship, of care, of love, or of annoyance, of irriation, of anger, whatever it may be, we feel it. This exact vibe, of whatever emotion it holds, is not a physical vibe. I think this vibe has more than history, is more than a science, and is greater than our reality. This vibe, I believe, is purely human. Time for another sample >> Julian Vincent feat. Cathy Burton -
