We’re building NodeNBO.com as a space for energy, AI, and Bitcoin people and businesses in Nairobi.
Last week we started events, including BitDevs Nairobi, AI+Freedom meetup, and the Quantum Kenya meeting.
Waitabit coffee anchors the public entrance.
Back at the cottages.
Usually disconnected on these trips, but sometimes you have to be on a call. This setup works very well. Anywhere.
Morning espresso with a view over the rift valley.
Now back to Nairobi to get to Mauritius in time for the Africa Bitcoin Conference. @npub1ndzn...5nva
But not before stopping at Africa’s largest wind farm.
Danny also do some real rough road driving.
Doing some VERY offgrid (potential) site visits with @dannyknowles and Eric Yakes.
Hiking views.
The road out.
A number of places worse but I couldn’t get a video.
Cold morning at 8,000 feet. But we’re dry and have food.
Some days start hot, dry, and dusty.
Then end cold, wet, and muddy.
Deep in Kenya’s inhospitable northern desert, camels and goats are about the only animals people keep.
But did see an albino topi today!
Made our way to the southern part of Lake Turkana.
Caralluma acutangula. Desert rose. Campsite at the lake.
Ok. Fixed the shocks.
Now found a broken spring. Did a bush mechanic job on it. It’ll hold until Nairobi.
One shock down…
A lot of wind and sun up here.
And camels. 🐪 Most camels per capita in the world.
Some days you just need a tow strap.
Ended up fixing it, the FJ40 spark plugs needed some attention.
Heading into the northern desert
This “Imagine If” event that @Rod has created is something special.
