Education – something to think about
Tuesday, May 15th, 2012My talk at TEDxIfe (Emma, where’s the video???) has really got me talking to people and checking out what respected thought leaders and doers are doing to make learning better, valuable and useable. I wish lecturers and people in education management at all levels were interested in some change. And whether they’re or not, I [...]

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011The definition of laziness has changed – Seth Godin. Laziness is no longer wanting to do the sweaty calorie-burning work. It is running away from the real hard work – the one that burns away calories in your brain, zaps your emotions and makes your heart pound albeit silently 24/7. Laziness is also not wanting [...]

Thursday, February 3rd, 2011Apologies, C comes before I in the alphabet recital and that might show some bias. I had this short back and forth with a techie on Facebook about which should be done in Africa – innovating or copycatting? What does it matter? To me, It’s not an either or issue.

Lorem Ipsum and its hidden messages
Monday, November 15th, 2010To all those who seek, ye shall find. For most of you reading this piece, the phrase “Lorem Ipsum” and the rest of yada yada that follows it is very familiar.

Sunday, October 31st, 2010We did rehearsals for this 1 hour ceremony for more than 9 hours cumulatively. Not that I am against proper preparation, but I felt we could have just done the swearing in and get the hell on with other important things. Don’t mind me, things get to me sometimes too.

Water, my friend, my enemy.
Friday, October 15th, 2010I just drank a bottle of water. It felt refreshing. I saw houses taken over by an angry lake along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway today, and I felt sorry for those who had coughed out finances to purchase lands and build in those areas.

WordPress 3.0 is out
Friday, June 18th, 2010For all WordPress afficonados, WP 3.0 is out. In my opinion the most important change with WordPress 3.0 (aka Theolonius) is the merge of the individual and multiple-user (MU) versions. The new functionality, called multi-site, will allow blog administrators to manage one or any number of blogs from one install. On the admin side, the [...]
