While it certainly is true, I&#8217;m stoked about open-source software in general, be it GNU/Linux, Android, PHP, Apache, git etc. Because I believe passion is contagious, I&#8217;ve started a new blog with the specific purpose of documenting and sharing that [...]]]></description>

Lots of people thought it was hilarious, not understanding why I didn&#8217;t just redeem them right when I bought them. There are many reasons, but yesterday, it was nothing other than an unused Bamba 50 which saved the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My sister and I paid a visit to the elephant orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. I guess it&#8217;s technically the &#8220;David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust,&#8221; but most people generally just call it the &#8220;elephant orphanage.&#8221; I had been to the nearby Nairobi Safari Walk before, which also has an orphanage, but this is a whole new ball [...]]]></description>
