Online game seeks to empower Africa - CNN.com

I always find it interesting when a game is used to make the world a better place, kind of like when I am a medic in a game mode. I sometimes like a game like Bejeweled just to turn my mind off and relax, while sometimes I like having a puzzle like Portal. I read about this first in a description at the TED conference where this inventor was one of the speakers. You might want to google the TED conferences and see what innovative folks are talking about for the future. Today was a busy day for me since I worked out at Fitness Formula, got to visit with my old karate teacher Mr. Lantrip there, and got Mom's and my taxes over to HR Block where I always depend upon them to check my figures and electronically file for me each year. I did get a new Lexmark black cartridge since I ran out working my Excel spreadsheet, and had another discussion with a deputy over the recent arrest of some folks to see if some of my items ended up in their recovery pile. I at least thanks to buying from amazon.com so much had on line receipts and color photos of items stolen I was able to give my insurance and deputy after my robbery of the home. We have good folks in the county so I am hoping we can get lucky. My porch infrared camera motion activated system from Bushnell had now found my neighbor's dog uncollared on my front porch which means the poor thing is vulnerable to highway traffic, and of all things all night there are meetings of raccoons and opossums and sometimes waves of cats coming by to check things out. I had no conception the place was this busy at night while sleeping until that camera recorded sometimes 200 motions detected in twenty four hours. We did release the 10 am deer mouse caught in my den. That makes 34 captures and releases and one caught by all three back porch cats and played with in 9 days with 15 in one sleepless night. Its getting fewer and farther between now at least. Deer mice are at least better than Mus musculus, but while I like nature I like to be in a sleeping bag without moving company! Live long and prosper.
