One of my favorite verses from the Christian Bible is one that says, “Be faithful in little things and you will be accorded Bigger things” or something along those lines. I believe in celebrating little success, no matter how small. If you have visited this blog more than 3 times, then this post is dedicated to you. I intend to go on the down low beginning today, as I prepare for what promises to be a great year for Intervangelist EA in 2011. Lots of ideas, too little time to execute them, but one step at a time and we will get there.
So ladies and gentlemen, here are my best Moments of 2010!! Continue reading ‘Monday Moments Ep 11 – The Best 7 of 2010!!’

Half the people who visit this blog are techies so this might be too obvious a post for them. I have been in the business of website development for half a decade now and I assure you, even the best of website developers make the same silly mistakes sometimes. If you own a business and are looking to have your website developed, don’t be fooled. Even the most Stupidly Simple of websites need to have the following 6 elements, in no particular order: Continue reading ‘Double S Ep2 – 6 basic things you should have on your Website’
Monday Moments Ep 10 – A Content Hungry People!

How have you been? Well I hope.
The majority of East Africans are middle to lower class income earners. I know; that’s an obvious fact. The greater part of their year is spent at their jobs, working hard for that pay increase, or just until they get that job that they actually want. The occasional day off is either spent with family, on a drinking spree or for the majority, cooped up on their sofa, tugging on a pillow so hard you’d think it has been trying to escape, watching re-runs of the same TV show since they have exhausted all the DVDs in the house, and are either too broke or too lazy to go out and get more.
Thank God for the likes of Tusker Project Fame and Churchill Live which provide that 45 minute reprieve from the usual routine, hence forming the highlight of many a people’s weeks! Continue reading ‘Monday Moments Ep 10 – A Content Hungry People!’

I Love my job!! That’s not something I hear many people saying about their jobs (probably the reason why most of us revere Entrepreneurs like little gods). I believe that for someone to Love what they do, be it in employment or even if they own a business, three things must be; Challenge, Fulfillment, Growth. Without challenges to overcome, you will never get to experience the joy of fulfillment. With no fulfillment, growth eludes you like a shadow.
Last week I came into close contact with some very important people in the local mobile industry. Kiran from Interactive Marketing Services (one of the pioneers of mobile content and TV Game shows in Kenya), Susan from Cellulant (No. 1 in the 2008 Top 100 mid sized company awards), Mwaniki from Mocality.com (the mobile directory company that’s taking the local scene by storm) and of course Hon. Eng James Rege, the e-Mheshimiwa who I blogged about last week. Today’s Monday Moments is 95% Mobile just to warn you in advance 🙂 Continue reading ‘Monday Moments Ep 9 – Mobile, Mobile, Mobile!’
The e-Mheshimiwa – Leadership in the Digital Era

Africa is beleaguered by poor leadership. That’s a painful fact that we have to live with day in day out. The way out of this misfortune still remains a far cry despite numerous efforts on the part of many. Often times the question lingers in my mind, “What’s the way out?”.
Yesterday I met a man, a politician, who helped me reshape my perspective of the future of leadership in Africa to a great extent. I would like to acquaint you with Hon. Eng. James G.K Rege, MP. Continue reading ‘The e-Mheshimiwa – Leadership in the Digital Era’
