Anyone who knows me knows just how much I love elephants – they are my spirit animal (never mind that I am 5’2 and weigh less than 120 pounds). So feeding, playing and bathing with them was on my bucket list. Continue reading “Bathing with Elephants in Chiang Mai”

Views of Lake Kivu from Gisenyi
Gisenyi is located in the western part of Rwanda. It’s a 3-hour drive from Kigali. Last weekend was a perfect time to unwind and practice on my new found photography skills. I hope you enjoy the photos. Shot them with a Nikon D3300 DSLR (though the last 2 were from a friend’s phone) Continue reading “Views of Lake Kivu from Gisenyi”

The MWEA 2013 technology event went down last week at the Southern Sun Mayfair Hotel. It ran from 19th of February til the 21st.

The main focus for this year was taking Monetisation and content creation dialogue to the next level. Continue reading “My MWEA (Mobile Web East Africa) experience.”

Lenovo S400 review : The Beast
I stumbled upon the Lenovo S400 when i was looking for a replacement for my old crashed Samsung. At first, i was lusting for the Dell Aspiron convertible : duo hybrid tablet. but as soon as i saw the Lenovo S400, i fell in love :-). for more information on the dell Aspiron hybrid, click here.
The sleekness and functionality of this gadget makes it the ultimate laptop suitable for any programmer, developer, designer, blogger or business executive. Some of the basic specifications include:
- Intel core i3-2365m processor (4 processores)
- 1.4 Ghz default clock speed (*4)
- 4.00 GB RAM
- 500 GB HD
- 14 inch screen
- a generous touchpad that is multi touch capable.
- A chiclet accutype keyboard
- Intergrated bluetooth version 4 and Wifi
- USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI out and Card Reader
Other interesting features include the Intel graphics Card that will be of particular importance to gamers. The one key recovery system is very helpful when it comes to data backup and recovery processes. it also has a quick start key that lets you surf the web, photo manager, Skype and music player at the instance of a button before the windows operating system is loaded.
Its looks are breathtaking. apart from the fact that it weighs approximately 1.8 kgs, it is extremely slim and is therefore loved because of its ultraportable nature. It comes in crimson red and silver colors. The super sleek profile and a very sleek metallic finish is captivating to the eye.
This is the ultimate Ideapad. I happened to purchase mine at the Ibrahim’s Store opposite Stanley hotel. It was retailing for 45,000. Its initial price was 50,000 but lucky for me, they had a sale and were selling laptops 5,000 less if they cost more than 40,000 shillings. I had window shopped around at Avenue Electronics next to I&M bank, Bright Electronics and a couple of computer shops on the Ibrahim’s lane but they were either too lame (did not have it in their stores), or did not offer a good bargain.
One thing that is wanting about it is the battery life. It was indicated that the battery life would last for about 4 hours, which it did in the earlier days. However, right now, sustaining 3 hours is a miracle. Because of its slim nature, the battery quality had to be compromised.
