Well it’s been 9 months since my last post.  It’s not that I haven’t intended too share my life.  I guess I’ve just been busy living it.  I am in Mali still and there is a lot to share.  I am feeling drawn again to the blog so let’s see how it goes…

Since I’ve been gone

• Settled into life at Bamako.  Seen many good friends already come and go.
• Got into my first real accident breaking my arm and wrist. Three months, five screws and two plates later I’m beginning to walk normally.
• Spent two weeks traveling from Timbuktu to Gao along the Niger River
• Made the switch.  I bought a MacBook and will probably never go back.

Stuff that interests me

The Economist just published an interesting article on the phone of the future besides Nokia claiming that in ten years we’ll be able to store the world’s music collection on a single chip, it touched on how we consume data.  According to “studies” on average we read 10MB of material a day; hear 400MB, and see one MB of information a second.  Wonder what kind of megapixels we are talking about?
