Is Steve reading this?
I find it almost impressive that I find myself in this specific part of the planet. I first read of Silicon Valley in Bill Gates' book The Road Ahead when I was still in rag tag Zim. Back then it seems like some far off distant land and now, I find myself in its capital. It really is hard to fathom that my commuter light rail train goes past Cisco and eBay. Sorry, I may sound a bit silly but for the kid who grew up making mud pies during holidays in rural Kezi, this is huge!On the other hand, I must be the only kid in the valley without a computer. If Steve Jobs is reading this (or if you know him), can you donate to a technologically starved african? I know you no longer make $1 a year and you could spare just one iBook. It will not do your wallet any harm. Go on, Steve, you can do it.
I'm renting a room from a very decent family, much unlike the weirdos I encountered during my quest. They are very easy going and we actually went out for a meal together last night. It was very enjoyable.
Work's very interesting. There's a lot to take in but, as my uncle says, it's called a job. I like to idea of being part of some tangible group working with real life issues. I've picked up on two very interesting financial ideas which I will implement as soon as I start earning some real dollar.
