TECH SHAME It's good to be conscious of where you are going and by what means you are getting to your destination. I recently experienced an embarrassing situation due to ignorance. I was tired, I crossed the road of this busy street, almost got ran over. I didn't want to go further so the first matatu that came along, I was in. I sat on the nearest available seat. Next to me was a man probably in his late seventies, he was the talkative type. He asked me if I was going the same destination with him, I nodded in agreement, he kept giving me this curious look, as he was about to make further inquiries, the screen was on and loud sounds emanated from the speakers, at first, this came as a relief but it wasn't.

GOOD FRIDAY Human is to error, so they say. There are always times when we sit down and ask ourselves, "what was I thinking when I did such a thing?" no reasonable answer comes by, we then promise ourselves not to repeat such mistakes again. But somehow we find ourselves repeating the mistakes or we get into worse mistakes.
