Kudos-Way to bridge the digital divide

With all the industry news I read, I can't believe I didn't know about GeekCorps. With growing and growing gaps between First and Third world countries - a really noble way to bridge those gaps. Kudos to Mr. Zuckerman on starting the vision and all the people who give of their time to help others become wired.

Geeks Rule In The African Bush

Clearly, Geeks rule in the African Bush as they do around the rest of the planet.

The #1 ?Life in the Geek Corps? photo showing two Geek Brethren inside Thatched Hut Cyber-Control says it all. That Dynamic Techno-Duo is the quintessential Ueber Geek Technical Team dressed for Techno-Ops in the African Bush.

The Manager Geek is dressed in a J. C. Penney, ?Geek-Sheik? business suit; the Worker Geek is in cotton duck trousers with his shirtsleeves rolled up ready for Techno-Action with both Techie Brethren wearing G.I. [Geek Issue] shoes.

A rare bird

I interviewed Zuckerman for an article a few years ago. Found him
to be very unusual for an Open Source advocate and IT success
story. Most of those people are know-it-alls who want to impose
their views on the world. Zuckerman is someone who is just as
interested in what he can learn from others as he is in his own
knowledge. He is also a pragmatist, able to work with people who
he doesn't necessarily agree with politically.
