Dear Facebook: About my "disabled" account...
Dear Facebook, I realise you probably believe yourselves to be the absolute monarch of global interconnectivity. Which you are, going by your frequent, unilateral and confoundingly cocky decisions - from hauling me from design to ruddy design with absolutely no regard for my opinion, to quietly changing your terms of use time and time again, to quite likely auctioning my data to the highest...

Top 12 Tweets: #NnekaLive, #NnekaLiveInKenya
So here’s a new one: “Top 12 Tweets”. The following is my [predictably pathetic] attempt at explaining the idea behind it. They are, erm, the top 12 tweets under the hashtags highlighted. Yeah.

Sunday 29th January 2012. KARI grounds. The context, as described by @kevdanative: “The sun was out, shining on a cloudless day. The sun-dressed ladies came out, looking all glamorous (Barney...

Every morning, I thank God for a select few people in my life. People honest enough to slap me once in a while whenever they feel like I’m losing the plot. Ok, I lie. Not every morning. But whenever the thought crosses my mind. Which is often. Just came across this update on Facebook, from one Murithi Nkungi: RINGTONE: I address this to you. Over the weekend (I think), I read about you...

Musau Ndunda, Sec-Gen, Kenya National Association of Parents: “…3 months, children being at home, I think that is a national disaster… it would become a disaster for the students, and they will be chaotic…” Kind sir (Yes, I’m struggling to maintain a semblance of politeness), I take offence to this statement. And I’ll keep my argument brief. If...
