The Operator

Soro trekked 600 km to Abidjan and bought a PS2. He hooked it up to a 13″ TV and opened a mini-arcade on his front porch. For 10c, villagers could challenge a friend to 3 rounds of kick boxing. Soro made $20 in just the first 3 days.

Ongopongo

Ongopongo accepts links to any kind of map. After finding or creating a map, submit a link to the map with a title and short description. Share maps with any kind of content, but please make sure it’s a direct link to at least one map. Some of the best submissions so far have been about a trip with photos and video, favorite places around town, and maps showing locations united by a common theme.

heh, already more shared maps than ms after one day.

Dye-sensitised Solar

“The refining of pure silicon, although a very abundant mineral, is energy-hungry and very expensive. And whereas silicon cells need direct sunlight to operate efficiently, these cells will work efficiently in low diffuse light conditions. The expected cost is 10% of the price of a silicon-based solar panel, making them more attractive and accessible to home-owners.”

hooray for bionano
