Kindle!
So! I finally got my paws on an Amazon Kindle, which is an e-reader. What makes me drool over it is the way it displays text with some black sorcery called 'e-ink', magically moving actual ink around a page. It's ... well, rather like those moving newspapers from Harry Potter. But it's even better than that because this sexy little device has FREE INTERNET included. Let me make myself clear: Free internet does not exist in Japan. No wi-fi anywhere can be had for free in the city, which I've...

A Bold Year
BlackBerry Italy’s PR head, Cinzia Liguori, very kindly let me have a BlackBerry Bold smart phone to play with. Now that I’ve had the Bold for a year, I thought it might be interesting to write about my experience of using a BlackBerry smart phone in Italy. Overall, I have to say that I have found the BlackBerry incredibly useful. Being able to use email, surf the internet, interact on Facebook and Twitter wherever I find myself, has been very handy indeed. I guess it would be...

Is Berlusconi to Run in the Rome Marathon'
Today, and I caught it, Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi held a press conference at which he neatly laid the blame for the election mess upon the shoulders of others. At the same time, Berlusconi attempted to put an end, once and for all, to all the confusion surrounding the election muddle in Rome. Only the attempt seems to have led to further confusion. During said press conference, during which, incidentally, Italy’s defence minister manhandled a journalist who insisted...

Fammi una Festa
What I love about Italy: Feste I don't think the Professor will agree with me about my love for Italian feste. He is the kind of guy who would say they are frivolous or excessive (all the while choosing 7 k turkey for Thanksgiving for dinner for four). I disagree and live by the following rule of thumb: Give me a festa and I'll celebrate. I can make feste from half-birthdays and you-got-dumped days to wisdom-teeth-removal and bad hair days. Italy is strapieno with feast, saint and...

The Danger of Predictability
I didn't blog Friday or yesterday. Normally, this occurrence is met with a harassing text from a certain friend (you know who you are, woman!). Yesterday, my lack of blogging was met with no less than 3 emails, 4 texts to my phone, a blog comment, and various phone calls and texts to Kevin. Yes, I am still pregnant. If the baby had arrived, the world would know. When I had Ellis, Kevin had pictures on the internet within hours. This was before blogging, facebook and Skype....

Vodafone Ghana ignoring calls to restore internet to Bolgatanga
I'm posting from mobile since we still have no internet. Despite repeated requests for Vodafone Bolgatanga to restore a full, stable connection to our town, and Vodafone Accra's assurances that it already IS fixed...it's not fixed. Unless "fixed" means 1 hour in 5 minute snatches per day while Vodafone continues to charge monthly fees to cafes thatnow have no customers 23 hours a day. Net cafes are going broke in Bolga. Is this happening anywhere else in Ghana' When will Vodafone fix the...
