Comments on: You ever have one of those days? http://matthewhelmke.net/wordpress/2007/10/22/you-ever-have-one-of-those-days/ Random things that interest me that I may want to remember later.

I really enjoy hearing about the use of technology around the world and how it affects the lives of people in the most unexpected places. <br /> <br /> I'm fascinated by the fact that Internet and cell phone access seems to be greater than the access to a dependable electricity source, though various humanity grants have taken solar panels into tribal areas, they aren't supported enough to recover from battery failure and that sort of thing (at least in Mexico).<br /> <br /> Anyway, I've head about Morocco from a more urban perspective. Thanks for sharing your experience in the Moroccan tribal area. I'm thinking about picking up you book now. :-) I'm just not sure I'd have the time to sit down and read it right now.</p> Just yesterday I was talking with some folks who had spent time in tribes in Mexico.
