Nothing is as exciting as getting a job that you love doing, if you love blogging, we are hiring, think about working your own hours, interviewing the who is who in the industry (we open the doors for you), being at the center of what’s happening – and best part is this is open for students and those who love a side hustle.

We are looking for passionate writers, who love ICT and are looking to make a mark for themselves in the country.

To apply , you have to send 2 articles on any topic on ICT or SME’s between 200 – 300 words, we like funny but yet factual and onpoint articles, do not write tech jargon, simplify, – to just give you a heads up, look at TechCruch.com, Mashable.com or Cracked.com (good humor)

If you think you cant write and you want to give it a shot, we are also taking smart Interns, we shall provide basic training and open the doors you need to start interviews and writing/blogging.

I like it on the sink
I always love it when a new meme hits the internet and especially Kenya, Kenyans have the tenacity of a bull dog on a mail man, they take something and do what the worlds knows them best for… run, so Makemende is no longer that big, come-on each race has a finishing line. The new phenomenal is women posting where they like it…

So maybe you have come across a face book post, with I like it on my lap, I like it on the couch, I like it on the floor, I like it on the sink, I like it anywhere and if you belong to my category of species, you had allot of mixed reactions, singles get excited, husbands are confused (it never happens), Fathers are in full panic mode, pastors are praying for their women congregation. So what is it all about, this is a top secret agenda for women during this month of October to sensitize people on issues of breast cancer.

So yes, now that it’s not a secret anymore, the month of October is the breast cancer awareness month and women are posting where they like to leave their purses when they get home, but conveniently leaving the word purse out, I have to give them an A for Effort, Kudos to women around the world and this provocatively effective campaign.. What do the critics have to say? they question if the use of sexual undertones downplays the entire issue of breast cancer and what is the relationship between a purse and this debilitation killer disease?, is this the way to get Mens attention to it <- cant argue with that.. it works.

Whatever your thoughts are on this subject, now that you know, encourage and support the women in your life to get regular checkups.
