In Arusha

Posted by Ory Okolloh in TED

Made it in one piece.

Baby KP was perfect…she already has the makings of a sophisticated traveller :-), which is a good thing seeing that mama has a bit of wanderlust in her.

Now off to make my slides pretty (I can’t stand powerpoint!).

Off to Arusha…

Posted by Ory Okolloh in TED

Can’t believe that TED Africa is already here! You can check out the exciting program here.

Me and the familia are off to Arusha. I’m about to join the legion of parents who get dirty looks when they enter the plane with an infant. Hoping that Gabi travels well…packing for this trip has been rather interesting, I keep feeling like I’ll leave that one thing that the baby needs and that we can’t find in Arusha.

Learning curve, learning curve….

Women where at thou?

Posted by Ory Okolloh in My random observations, TED

Several of my virtual and real buddies have received scholarships to attend TED Arusha. So far, all the receipients that I know are male…a trend similar to the Blogging Indaba last year… and I’m curious to know whether there are any women out there who’ve applied for/ received a scholarship to TED. Please leave a comment if so.

Incidentally, the very successful first BarCamp Kenya (congrats Riyaz et. al), appears to very male-dominated, even accounting for the subject matter…no fault of the organizers, because word was put out and everyone encouraged to attend or volunteer to present etc…so again I wonder where are the women?
