2010-07-28 09:40:17Ghana: Promoting Young IT Entrepreneurs
Overlooking the Gulf of Guinea from the heart of the old center of Accra is a six-story concrete building that looks perfectly anonymous to the outside world. In fact, one would never suspect that more than a dozen start-up companies are occupying the entire top floor of the building, a meandering 9000 sq feet of office space that includes two IT laboratories, a lecture hall, conference and library facilities and an office for each business.

2010-07-28 09:09:50Transform Us, Please!!
Ok, so, the title of this post may be a bit misleading. Emily and I do not want to be turned into robots that can turn into semi-trucks nor do we want to go on Extreme Makeover and get new noses among other things but we are super-excited to say that our KITCHENS are going to be transformed!!! Can you say DREAM COME TRUE We are thrilled beyond belief to announce that we are Granite Transformations Trendsetter Bloggers that s what that button in our sidebar is all about! Granite Transformations is providing us with new kitchen countertops which they make themselves! for freezies, and they are re-facing our kitchen cabinets, which Emily and I are paying for but at a nice discount. And we. ARE SO. EXCITED!!! Perhaps you remember that I lovingly refer to my kitchen as the eyesore of my house: well, now you know why: And for another beautiful view: Besides the new kitchen floor that my darling husband gave me for our 10th anniversary, I pretty much hate it. The countertops are cheap and the cabinets are crap! So when Jacob and Nick from the Dayton office of Granite Transformations came over last week and showed me how they can make my kitchen beautiful without ripping it it out and making it non-functional in just three or four DAYS I was so happy!! They were so nice and knowledgeable. I had a lot of questions about HOW the heck they were gonna be able to work with my kitchen it has serious problems!! and they answered them all and assured me they can make it happen! Don t be jealous Bobby Rapson, but I really can t wait to see these guys again! ****** Oh hi, it s Emily now! Like Jenny said, we are extremely excited about this opportunity. Our kitchen is ok, but our house was built in the mid-90s and our kitchen shows it! and yes it disturbs me as much as it does you to realize that things from the mid-90s are now outdated but it s been 15 years! I have been wanting new counter tops for, like, ever or maybe three out of the four years we ve lived in our house, and my husband has very strong negative feelings toward our cabinets, so we are both equally excited about the transformation our kitchen is about to undergo. The best part We don t have to do any of it! Well, except paint and change the light fixtures and put down a new floor hey we might as well go for the gold, right Because people We are not handy. Apparently I am parentheses-happy this morning, my apologies. So. Here s what we ve got to work with: Eh. As you can see sort of, in the high-quality pics from my cell phone, our cabinets are oak-ish and have a distinct lack of hardware, which I do not enjoy, and our counter tops are run-of-the-mill vinyl. And our floor is awful and also the bane of my existence, because it has 9 million groves per square inch that hold onto dirt for dear life. Any flooring companies out there who are dying to get in on this project, give me a call. But in just a few weeks, it s going to look entirely different, and it s going to be awesome. ****** Since neither Jenny nor I see home decorating as our forte, I thought it would be fun to turn to you for advice as to what would look best in our kitchens! Please leave a comment letting us know what you think we should pick for our counters and cabinets and if you could tell me what color to paint my walls, too, I would be eternally grateful. I am awful at picking out paint!. If you want to see what our options are, click over to the Granite Transformations website. I can t wait to hear what you think!
