One Laptop Per Child

What an amazing concept: to design and create a simple yet effective piece of technology for the children of this world. And not just the children of America, but of any country out there.

I especially appreciated the comment by Mr. Negroponte that even at $100, the price might be a little bit steep. However, the one qualm I have is the minimum order of 1,000,000 units. That's seems a bit rigid.

But, just like Sustainable Sciences Institute, I admire the fact that there are people out there willing to see the wisdom in adapting technology to fit the local circumstances, rather than having the locals adapt to the technologies of the developed world.

Kelowna Wedding

A few hours drive into the heart of British Columbia is Kelowna. The biggest draw of this little town in the middle of nowhere is the presence of two wonderfully sweet people, Mike and Alya, who just celebrated their wedding with their close friends. I guess I was invited to add a little American flare to the proceedings.

A lovely couple they are, that's for sure
