My primary lines of work are clustered around two major set of issues:
Fighting Counterfeit medicines in the developing world and mobilizing awareness about and responses to Africa’s developmental challenges, with an obvious emphasis on Ghana, where I live.

So it is probably not surprising that my favourite haunts on the web are linked to these two issues either directly or indirectly through “bigger picture” contexts wherein both issues can find expression.

Our own: http://www.mPedigree.Net, though very much a work in progress, provides a good structure for organizing my thoughts about web-content related to the fake medicine issues, and the key items of conversation found there sets the tone for our evangelization, as evident here:

Likewise, http://www.Africanliberty.org, of which I am the Associate Editor, forces me to think through the best approach for organizing my web experience to suit my learning needs regarding the African situation. Here is where the “bigger picture” context I referred to above becomes relevant. In the last few days, for instance, I have been paying frequent visits to http://www.ted.com, because we’ve been hosting a TEDx (independently organized TED event) in Accra and much inspiration was needed, since our big burden was to set in motion Great Ideas that will spread like wild fire and catalyse the emergence of a new Africa out of the ashes of the Old.
