I just spent the week with the new group of volunteers who just arrived from America in June. I quizzed them about new trends, music, and technology. It seems I’ve missed quite a bit – I even came up with a sample list of all the things that have happened or come out since I’ve been gone and away from media:
- iPhone and Kindle
- the campaign, election, and 200 days of presidency of Obama
- Lily Allen
- The financial crisis (the US seemed to be in decent shape when I left)
- Lenovo buying HP (and plus all those new tiny laptops)
- Slumdog Millionaire
- Beyonce’s new Album
- Windows Vista
And probably tons of other stuff that I just don’t know about. So be patient with me if I get back and am more clueless than normal.

business skills in a medium sized city. After 2 years in Togo, she
moved to Accra, Ghana to work in a internet and mobile telephone
startup.
