I can see why blogs are cutting into the audiences of “traditional” media houses. I’m listening to the Chicken Noodle Network CNN and they’re talking about how “well” the surge in Iraq is going. Really? 700,000 Iraqis have died in this war and Americans think they’ll be forgiven?

Many months ago I had a post on the topic of asset-backed securities. The post was prompted by experiences told to me by someone who had moved back to kenya about two years ago to work for a private bank that wanted to shore up their asset-backed security division. Things didn’t work out [...]

The owner of this domain name has received a bid price for $130,000 dollars (if someone outbinds him or her, the domain name could sell for even higher).
That is interesting to me because I didn’t think “African” names would sell for that much (for a variety of different reasons). However, I suppose the name of [...]

So, so, so,….let me just get to the point.
No! No! No!…it’s not a mean question.
I’m just trying to gauge how much moolah is going into the boolah

I’m going to go back to talking about business because those Kenyan politicians are out of their minds and if I keep paying attention to them, I’m going end up losing my mind as well.
Anyway, I don’t know why the personal biography of Tommy Hilfiger (the fashion designer) seems to fascinate me. I found myself [...]

You can go here and watch all the youtube links about nomination troubles occurring all over the place. I picked this video out because it was the most bizarre - the presiding officer was actually abducted and roughed up; oh…and the ballot papers were stolen.
I’ve said before that I wish Kibaki was a lot [...]

I love the story behind the founding of this community radio station. It was started by a woman named Helen Wanjiku who grew up in Korogocho, but was able to leave and get her education when an aunt helped her out financially. She returned to Korogocho and started this station as a way [...]

I got excited about this story when I discovered that the owner of what’s probably the world’s most famous city name is a black guy who lives in Philadelphia. He registered the name in 1994, but didn’t start making money with it until around 2003 when google revolutionized the internet ad business model.
I can’t even [...]

I first heard about this guy {Aly Khan} from reading Bankelele’s website. So, I of course, then went on to see what he was all about. He has his own site and I guess he’s trying to cash in on Kenya’s stock market craze by selling his “expertise”. I think he also [...]

Everyone knows that if you are going to use foreign political consultants, you must, must, must, keep them in the background. They’ve been doing this in the former Soviet Republics for the last few years(hiring American lobbyists, but making them sign strict confidentiality agreements).
Does Raila not have confidence in the Kenyan politicians on his team? When [...]

That’s what the United Nations wants Kenyans to have and by God, they’re going to help us become more like them. Absolutely. They are going to create more faceless beaurucrats who sit in cubicles the whole day pushing paper and writing reports.
Oh yes, my dear friends, UNDP has commissioned yet another “report” from academics all the [...]

I watched a documentary last night on the CIA’s program called “extraordinary rendition”. We’ve been reading about it in the Nation lately - Kenyans (accused of being terrorist sympathizers) and who are usually of Muslim or Arab descent, being picked up in Mombasa and flown (on secret U.S. flights) into prisons in Ethiopia.
Kibaki is [...]

Everyone’s talking about politics. Raila this, Kibaki that, here, there…but for 99% of us, this election will have no dramatic effect on our lives. We’ll still have to get up in the morning, go to work and pay bills.
So, I want to talk about business and get some updates on Kenyan companies we’ve talked about here.
I’d [...]

From the Nation’s cutting edge:
Could Nairobi Water Company be getting overwhelmed by the job of catering for the capital’s residents? Muhita Mathenge says that the company, which started with a bang, can no longer keep its own schedules. Nairobi West residents have not received their water bills for the past two months. As a result, [...]
