Random off-line tweets from Tanzania trip

  • During the workshop at Morogoro, received a question from farmers that who are the biggest CO2 emitters. Lucky that I kept #GapMinder AIR handy! It's a must app for those traveling in areas with virtually no Internet (yes - that's more commonly found than you think).
  • Getting harder and harder to avoid all the spoilers on the #Lost Finale. Gotta catch up at Hulu quick..
  • Starbucks at AMS: Ordered "Doppio over ice" and got a puzzled look and saying "yes we can do, but don't know if it would be good." Thanks, it was great.
  • @KLM How come every other flight suffers this mid-air crisis on the entertainment system that requires total reboot.
  • Adding to my list of IFPRI Wonders/Wishes: We (IFPRI and/or HarvestChoice) need stickers. Harry (at #ZALF) showed me photos of village kids put cute #BetterIS project logo sticker on them.
  • To be a cool project: Clever acrononym with trend wording. Domain with ORG (NET and INFO acceptable, but no COM please). Pretty logo. And now sticker. Long way to go. Ah, research too?
  • Visited the best chicken grill place in Tanzania: Chacha Grill in Morogoro. Harry discovers their secret recipe. Garlic, pepper, etc, etc, and red color #3..?!
  • Asked farmers in household survey, on bio-fuel crops. What's changing in this village these days? Dancing style.
  • My favorite HH survey Q&A. How to cope with risks in farming? Drinking beers.
  • One more reason to love #WriteMonkey. Instead of the never-helpful random "Did you know?" tips that no one cares, it splashes sweet quotes like this classic one "Insanity is just a sate of mind". Perfect for motivated minds to write something useful!
