I saw this sign around the popular “Monkey Hill” in Takoradi — in the Western Region of Ghana. My initial reaction to the sign was: KEEP OFF - ONLY MONKEYS ALLOWED!

How did this one totally escape me? Apparently there was a total eclipse of the heart moon on the night of the 20th of February — with our dear little planet Earth passing between the sun and a full moon.
The next total eclipse of the moon will take place sometime in 2010. Until then, you can visit Wired for more photos of the recent total eclipse of the moon submitted by users.

From the very beginning we knew our little baby was NOT going to be a household name. Rather we wanted her to be the unknown giant upon whose shoulders many Smart Ghanaians would stand and lead our nation and the rest of the continent towards a safe, just, and prosperous future. And while things have been moving quite uneasily slow for us, we’re moving forward nonetheless.
A major initiative currently underway is a center to be run in conjunction with the Institute of Mathematical sciences, an institution founded and headed by our very own Prof. Allottey.
Yesterday, accompanied by my two partners in crime - Christopher Bennett and Remy Edmundson - I went to inspect the status of work on a facility at McCarthy Hill, Accra, which is likely going to be our new home. This facility currently houses the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and is being expanded to temporarily accommodate the yet-to-be-launched Allottey Andam University College.
We couldn’t have access to indoor facilities, but here are some photos we took from the compound. Enjoy.

I just installed Picasa on a machine. But I’m in a hurry… I just want to add a few quick touches to just one photo. Don’t want to scan the the computer. Not now. But I can’t find the “Scan Nothing” or “Skip This” radio button. Where is this hidden?

Man or statute? I was going through some directories on my computer, and came across this photo of this statute young man, in full gear for last year’s 50th Anniversary celebration of Ghana’s Independence. Even from the photo you could mistake him for a statute!
And apparently everyone else knows this man, except me! I’m told he often stands at major junctions in the city — causing heavy traffic jams, as drivers slow down to catch a glimpse of him.

Recently while waiting for my power to be restored, I grabbed my camera, walked round the house, and took some shots. My current residence is at “Dome Pillar 2″, a new, unplanned, but rapidly developing suburb of Accra. Here are some of those shots:
This is my first time of using the “Embed Slideshow” feature in Picasa Web Albums. While the free 1GB (and counting) space is great, at this time, the overall feature-set is no close that of others in this space, like Flickr. Or maybe it’s by design … I sure like it’s simplicity.
By design or not, one feature that would help is a visual indication of the total number of [hotos in the slideshow, as well as the position of the current current photo (something like 1/20). This helps the user easily determine whether he/she can invest the time to see all the photos.
