Zimbabwe and Zimbabwean Music
I was in the Peace Corps in Zimbabwe for two years beginning in 1997. The country had some problems at the time and things have gotten much worse since then. Most Zimbabweans are great, but the leaders are getting progressively crazier.

  • Some photos of Zimbabwe and nearby areas
  • ZWNEWS.com a good news source
  • MBIRA a non-profit organization devoted to Shona mbira music
  • Dandemutande store, listserve, and database of resources all related to Zimbabwean music

Biodiesel
My wife and I fill our diesel car with biodiesel from Dr. Dan's Alternative Fuelwerks in Ballard. I think renewable fuels are a smart idea and this one is particularly easy to implement.  Nice to depend on American farms for fuel.

update: diesel car has been sold
