Does this make you feel better?

A animated flash advertisement when I logged off my webmailer led me to the page of Volvic fuer UNICEF, an initiative between (the water brand) Volvic and UNICEF that provides a simple marketing idea:
Buy 1 litre of Volvic naturelle water and they (Volvic) will pay the equivalent of 10 litres in form of financial aid [...]

Anyone knows this car?

As soon as I figure out which car it is, I’ll add it to my list.
That’s one hot Kikulicious garimoja there. Damn. I want this car.
I guess it’s all due to the fact that we had this car in the 1970s.? Nissan Skyline.
Ha! Makes me think of the KJT I’ve seen the other day…muahaha.

Strandbiester

Who needs electricity btw if there’s someone like Theo Jansen?

It is so amazing!
Now where are these guys like Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi or William Kamkwamba to take over? Oh, and check out this Phun version on YouTube.

smavazopakivalicous

A short tweet by fellow blogger Sascha Lobo brought me to smava.de and to the question if smava could also work in a country like Kenya?
In other words: do we have to leave this interesting market to the big players only – who are good at targeting Kenyans abroad (~ trips from StanChan & Equity [...]

the polo shirt story

What’s this?

Blog material.
No, seriously – what you see here is my broken Tusker polo shirt.
Bought this One-Way XXL shirt sometime in 2006 and after only 4 months in use, the collar suddendly fell apart. Obviously, there’s something to the one-way name that didn’t quite appear to me when I coughed up the mbeca for this [...]

IFAT 2008

I’ve attended the IFAT 2008 today – the “15th International Trade Fair for Water – Sewage – Refuse – Recycling”. There’s an IFAT in China and one in Munich, Germany. I had already attended the last IFAT in 2005 and was once again invited to Munich this time around, with my focus being set on [...]
