Living in Africa. Tanzania. What I experience is entirely a different world than what I view on the internet. It makes me want to log off. But I want to know what is going on, especially in those areas of the world where I travel and live. Once in a while, something spills over here.
The reason why I called it Netroots is because I coined the term back when I worked in politics and digital media and still own the .com domain. To me, the internet is a place of information that can be used to organize and make changes for the better. I have been on it since the mid 90s, but increasingly feel disconnected from it all. So back to blogging, where it all began with MyDD so long ago, so it seems a good blog name to use this go-around.
