  Support Maker Faire Africa

   » ‎ Afromusing

  Tags:  Africa  

  

  Maker Faire Africa (MFA), a celebration of African ingenuity, innovation and invention, will take place August 13-15 at the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT in Ghana’s capital, Accra.

  As one of the contributing editors of AfriGadget, I am incredibly happy to see this event come together. When I started pitching in afew articles on Afrigadget, it was partly because I really liked Emeka Okafor’s idea of ‘A Make Philosophy for Africa’

  A MAKE for Africa will be a non-limited set of values and practical ideas that evolve, germinate, propagate and replicate with informed nudges…

  The upcoming event is Ghana is one giant nudge, that I hope you can support either by spreading the word – grab a badge here, or by donating a small sum towards making Make Faire Africa happen.

  The Goal & MFA Supporters so far

  Let Me Upgrade you…

  Tags:  This that the other  

  I finally upgraded this blog to Wordpress Version 2.7.1. Initially I was worried about the theme not working with the new version, but seems like my apprehension was unfounded.

  I activated several plugins: Notably..

  – Tweet this so you can get your tweet on

  - Mobile press to make viewing my blog on your phone that much more pleasurable. This plugin was created by the good folks at Younique, a social marketing company out of South Africa. @Tylerreed good stuff man. Mobile press works beautifully on Opera and Iphone. I would highly recommend it. Do let me know if you encounter any problem on other mobile browsers.

  - Contact form in the About page

  - I am still trying to figure out how to use Zemanta to deal bring in ‘related’ links for posts.

  Goodies for you:
  A wallpaper that my talented relative Jepchumba designed, click on this image to download it from flickr.

  

  Link to Beyonce’s video. I shamelessly borrowed the title for this blogpost. Needless to say, the video has bsolutely nothing to do with upgrading wordpress blogs
