The Zimbabwean Titanium Trillion Dollar Campaign

This comes by way of Dancin, and it's a very powerful short video documenting the tradegy of free speech befalling Zimbabwe due to the rule of Mugabe and one newspapers very creative way of fighting back.

Peurto Rico! (for work, boo)

So, here I find myself arrived in Puerto Rico for ten days of fun filled work activity (insert sarcasm). This is painful, being on such a beautiful island and being stuck inside a convention center the whole time. However, because the Foundation funding my salary has decided that the next grant shall be due during the same time I am in Puerto Rico I find myself sitting on this lovely balcony (belonging to the Boss' Suite) writing a grant proposal...can't be too angry yet.


Somehow blogger knows I am in Puerto Rico and has decided to switch over to Spanish. I'm hoping google is merely trying to be helpful and force me to learn a little Spanish...being the bad Mexican that I am my vocabulary is limited to: taquito, vino, cerveza, tequila, bano (usually in that order & none of which will do me much good in a work environment). Wish me luck...
