Good people, All set for tomorrow. Roster is still not closed so if you want to share your wisdom, drop me a line. If you want to know more about the iPad join us - Rahim will tell us more. Like when we can get our hands on one!

I feel like skipping class, but then again I've skipped enough, so I'll miss the session. Maybe after class around one-if you'll still be holding the session I'll drop by.

Am leaving Westi around 9AM and have room for 4. Anyone need a lift, make some noise! Clement Ongera wrote:

Excellent. Have told some they will hear about the Innovation Hub. The blog post @ www.ihub.co.ke actually captures some of my thoughts about tying ventures such as the IHub to the ICT Parks coming up in Kenya. More on that shortly ...
