I was in Kenya last week, an experience which a number of people wondered if I was chronicling here. I wasn't at the time, mostly due to an exhausting work schedule while there. I had great plans to come home at night and work on problem sets and reading for this week, but only got the requisite grading done. But suffice it to say that I'll try to back-post thoughts (and pictures) from the trip. I saw a rhino, and so should you.
And among the other things I'm up to these days, I'm going to try to keep this thing going as a way to keep others updated on my life. Or at the very least, what I'm reading, thinking about, listening to, watching, or eating (I think I just about covers all my senses and activities).
Today's example:
1. This hilarious, and kind of inspiring (in a geeky, researcher sort of way), blog post from an economist working in post-conflict settings.
2. I'm excited and nervous about what's up in Zimbabwe. The Washington Post is doing some good reporting (like here), and there are some interesting perspectives in the bloggosphere. I didn't see any of the violence, or any remnants of it, when I was in Kenya, but I worry that might erupt in Zim, even under the authoritarian rule Mugabe has successfully put in place. But I'm hopeful, and it looks promising.
