Interesting video from one of the founders of Java House. He says the business, which includes ten coffee houses, is now a $15 million dollar a year business and they’ve grown that with no borrowing and no money spent on advertising.,
To do that without borrowing is very impressive and it brings me to a point [...]

So, it looks like this under-sea cable is finally going to get to Kenya and people are excited about it. According to the SEACOM site, it will own 65% of the company while a local partner (who might that be?) will own 35% of the company. Everyone thinks this cable line is going to drastically [...]

This is an interesting article on Facebook and all the lawsuits that the founder is facing. Apparently, a few classmates of his at Harvard believe that he stole the idea from them and they want to be compensated for it.
The case against Zuckerberg, the facebook founder was supposedly settled for $65 million dollars, but his [...]

I guess some Indians are unhappy about the portrayal of India in the movie Slumdog Millionaire. They think people in the west will see the film and associate India only with filth and poverty.
I saw the movie and didn’t think it was that good. I think Mira Nair’s The Namesake was much better. They’re a [...]

I occassionally like to drop in and listen to Alan Keyes for some internet comedy hour. Here he is claiming that Obama is still not the legitimate president of America because he was born in Nairobi, Ki-nya, not Hawaii.
He does make one good point in this rambling video when he wonders how a bankrupt government [...]

I don’t quite understand the appointment of Micah Cheserem as the new CMA Chairman. Like I’ve said before, the NSE is operating in a country that has no respect for the rule of law. Therefore, until this fundamental flaw of the system is changed, no amount of continuous appointments is really going to make a [...]

There’s an interesting story in the NYT about UBS agreeing to give up the names of it’s customers who for years, have used the bank’s secret accounts to hide money away from tax enforcers. I guess as this economic crunch begins to take hold and as governments keep getting more desperate for cash, they are [...]

There’s an article in BD Africa this week about the staff changes at Telkom Kenya ever since France Telecom bought a 51% stake in the company. To make a long story short, most of the Kenyan managers at the company are now being replaced by expatriates.
This story caught my attention because it was in stark [...]

Since I can no longer figure out what the heck these journalists at the Kenyan newspapers are saying, I’d like someone here to click on the links below, read them and then come back and explain to us what exactly is happening at the Nairobi stock-jivers exchange.
Please make an effort to explain how all of [...]

I know Kenyans are obsessed with their real estate, but there’s another form of real estate that’s making a lot of money and that doesn’t require a huge investment of cash– $7 dollars a year is all it takes to register a domain name these days. I was thinking about this post because I just [...]

I was reading this interview that Githongo gave to the Standard and I started thinking about Githongo’s vision for Kenya. On one level, it is the right vision because it espouses a Kenya that is non-tribal, fair and just — a Kenya that will be (at it’s core) defined by the rule of law.
However, as [...]

I’m sorry. I lied. I have to get back to discussing politics because my favorite person in the world is back to his old antics. Yes, once again, Will-Kill Router (that’s his nickname on this blog because he likes to “willingly“ “kill” people and “route” them from their farms). Let’s continue on…
Now, you see, old [...]

I want to move away from talking about politicians because they are going to continue to do whatever it is they want to do and at this point, we just have to move on and start worrying about ourselves.
So, I’m going to assume that most of the people who read this blog are not politicians [...]

Can someone please tell me who the fuck is giving zombie Kibaki public relations advise???
Ten million people are starving and the government decides to use your money to pay for a conference to talk about the Kenya you want. No. Excuse me. To talk about the Kenya they have and the one you’ll never get.
They [...]

My dear Kenyan people – I’m not even going to front. I think the CBK governor has turned into a magician. I think there’s some trickeration going down at the governor’s office. So, from now on ( and in deference to Njuguna’s unique form of monetary trickeration) I will now be referring to him as [...]

This is a good video that explains the inter-connected nature of this global economy. It’s all about finding the cheapest labor sources wherever in the world they lie.
If the service can be provided over a computer, the job will most probably be moved to India.
If the goods can be manufactured in China, that’s where the [...]
