Communication

I spent a couple of hours responding to people who had contacted me recently. Want to know where I had to go to do that? Behold, Web 2.0:

*Plain Old Gmail
*Facebook Inbox
*Facebook Wall Posts
*Twitter
*Loopt
*WordPress Comment Section
*Phone Text Messages

Yikes. If I don’t respond to you in a timely manner, it’s most likely because I’m attending to some other area of the clogged up intertubes. Isn’t there a way we can simplify this?

I had always planned for December to be my month of travel on this trip. A few weeks back, Joe and I wrapped filming on the majority of what we came to document. Our work with OHS came to a close and Joe left with his girlfriend, Sandy, to explore more of the country that we’ve been living in for the past 5 months. The day after Pete and I climbed Kili, I jumped on a 9 hour bus to Dar Es Salaam – to surprise Lærke as she flew into Tanzania from India. She decided to come spend the month of December with me, to travel and to join Becca & Pete on part of their adventure. We returned together to Arusha so that I could wrap up some of my responsibilities (trying to sell Suzi – no luck yet – anyone want her?) before heading out on the open road. We were finally able to get started this Thursday, when we left for Mombasa.

The other day I visited a friends blog and suddenly realized from a reader’s perspective what a silly feeling it is to leave a comment – to step out of the void and add an opinion. I know you might not feel like writing anything, but according to the amount of traffic that’s coming to the site, there’s alot more people reading than I’m aware of, so if you’d like to just write hi, so I know who’s out there – this is your first semi-formal invitation. Asante Sana.
