Video: Wanderers by Erik Wernquist

This is a really cool short film. I used to be a big sci-fi fan and this short film intrigued me when I watched it. This is supposed to be a realistic imagining of what the future of mankind might be. It is narrated by Carl Sagan . Do you think it could turn out like this? Will we explore the solar system? Check out the video and may you be taken on a journey for the next few minutes. Here is the description Wanderers is a vision of humanity's expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available. Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea of the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds - and above all, how it might appear to us if

Video: Veve (trailer)

VEVE follows the lives of multiple characters trying to find themselves in a world of political intrigue, revenge, love and longings for success complemented by the background of the thriving yet unregulated veve business. Amos, an ambitious politician, is running for another term as Maua MP whilst facing his opponent Wadu in the extension of his veve empire. His wife Esther discovers the true nature of his affairs and seeks solace in Kenzo, a conflicted young man out to seek vengeance for his father’s death. Sammy, Amos’ right hand man, has to choose between being loyal to his work and being a caring father to his 12-year-old son Kago. Maua´s Veve Farmers want to farm a union to force Amos to pay decent prices for their veve. Clint, a hedonistic wannabe documentary filmmaker meddles to far, blind of the dangers he is putting himself and others into. All are in search of purpose not knowing, that their destinies are entwined in more ways than they imagine.

Video: Lupita Ny'ongo on Sesame Street

Elmo is with his good friend, Lupita. They are talking about all the great things about their skin. For example, Elmo's skin just happens to be very ticklish. Lupita's skin happens to be a beautiful brown color. Skin can come in all different shades and colors. Isn't skin just the best? However, ticklish or smooth or black or brown or white or tan, be sure to love the skin you are in.

Imagine the Bible, like a novel?

I know many people don't read the Bible because they find it dense, boring and daunting. But imagine if it were modernized and made "interesting" and accessible. Check out this project called Bibliotheca . It is an interesting and innovative project to modernize access to God's Word.  I think it's a great initiative. Check out the video promoting it. It is a Kickstarter project which has so far received almost a million dollars (as of this posting) and thousands of donors. What do you think, is it a good idea? Bibliotheca Kickstarter from Good. Honest. on Vimeo .

Kenya Police Draft of Service Standing Orders 2014

Here is the draft of the Kenya Police Service Standing Orders. It is unfortunate that it was so difficult to find. It is nowhere to be found on the Police websites as had been announced in the press. I had to enquire from multiple sources before I could get a copy. The Kenyan public has also only been given until March 19th to review and submit views on an over 1000 page document! It's almost like they don't want us to know about it, and minimize public participation. Anyway, here it is. Please review and send in your views by March 19th 2014 to these emails: caotieno@yahoo.com, drcharles@yahoo.com Let us help improve our Police Service!

Video: The Samaritans (Trailer)

The Samaritans is a Xeinium Productions original TV series. The Samaritans is a comedy about an NGO that does nothing. It is centered around the absurdities of one dysfunctional NGO. The setting for The Samaritans is the Aid for Aid Kenya field office. The main characters are the staff who have to deal with the odd demands and decisions of the head UK Aid for Aid office and hopelessly inept local bureaucrats, while trying to write as many useless reports as possible, all under the guise of ‘saving’ Africa.
