TRANSFORMERS

Tue, 14 Aug 2007 19:00:00 +0000

If you have not watched this yet, this is a MUST SEE! Opened in Kenya on Friday Aug 10th after making me wait for ages.
As the cliche goes, ‘pesa ya ticket iliisha within the first 5 minute’. Action scene after action scene, the graphics work was awesome, a bit of comedy, romance and loads of TRANSFORMING!
I’m seriously considering watching it again while waiting to get an original DVD.

Why is my blog called The Alpha Quadrant?

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:45:00 +0000

My first ever Sci Fi TV series was Star Trek The Next Generation (TNG)

I’ve since watched Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek DS9 and Star Trek Enterprise

The Alpha Quadrant (in simple terms) is that part of the Milky Way where earth is located.

Hence the name – the alpha quadrant – from a uniquely kenyan perspective… now that there’s only one Kenya in the Alpha Quadrant.

Talking Sci Fi, the Stargate series is my current favourite.

Zina Album Launch

Sun, 20 May 2007 20:12:00 +0000

Zina’s Concert was absolutely awesome. Despite some hitches with power at Kenya National Theatre (Imagine there’s no backup power source!), the concert went on with two shows on Sunday afternoon.

I went for the second show which started at about 5.30 pm. In late 2002 with Mission Driven, we had done a concert at KNT and had some power problems, so I was praying that they would not have the same problems that we encountered back them.

Started with National Anthem with Webi leading it with a guitar. (I loved it, being a guitar addict). Israel led some praise and worship songs, and the show got started.

Backed by a live band, Zina did all but 3 of the songs from their album Changed. I personally love live music. There’s some element of a live performance that cannot be reproduced when a song done backed by a track.

Zina comprises of Salome, Priscah, Sheila and Milka. They have somehow managed to juggle time between their various studies, and working on this album and this concert. Their CD is out and is a must have, for me at least.
Mwafrika.com should have more pictures soon.

CashFlow 101

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 06:17:00 +0000

I played CashFlow® 101 yesterday for the first time with friends.

I must say it is quite an entertaining game yet at the same time a learning experience. It took us a bit of time to get up and running as we all had to understand the rules of the game. Too bad we did not have too much time and some of us had to leave early.

However, I managed out of the rat race second. My next target is to see if I can get out within 30 minutes . I am now looking to get my own game as this was borrowed, and at the same time get 202. The weekend beckons…

Music Break

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 07:03:00 +0000

Now that it’s Friday, I’m going to feature the latest addition to my music collection (Yes, I buy music).
I’ve listened to Joseph Hellon’s Ekkaleo roughly 6 times. Love the jazz and african touch. I first listened to Hellon playing a sax in 1994 in high school and was really amazed. A really talented musician, I have heard him play ‘Take Five’ on a (you wouldn’t believe it) wandindi. Throw in Krucial Keys (Aaron Rimbui), Kanjii, JJ and the rest of the crew, and you have real quality production.
If you’ve been looking for positive, uplifting jazz from East Africa try out Ekkaleo . Visit Sternsmusic and SoundAfrica to listen to samples online.
