Headfirst Into the Meddle: Nigeria Decides
http://igwatala.blogspot.com/2011/03/nigeria-decides.html
Headfirst Into the Meddle. Monday, March 28, 2011. I do not believe that any one of the candidates will bring a sudden transformation of the country, however. The transformation needed for the country is already taking place in the very active involvement of people in the choice of their leaders, especially if it also continues long after the new president has been sworn in. The change we want may already be here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Somewhere Else, Nigeria. View my complete profile.

Headfirst Into the Meddle: Living and Loving a Foreign Country
http://igwatala.blogspot.com/2011/04/living-and-loving-foreign-country.html
Headfirst Into the Meddle. Friday, April 15, 2011. Living and Loving a Foreign Country. There is a paradox, I believe, in the idea that a foreign country sometimes holds better treasures than the one in which one currently resides. I know that now after conversations with friends who have lived in this country for most of their lives. They all believe in the same thing: they need to travel out to other places in order to feel better about themselves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Headfirst Into the Meddle: January 2011
http://igwatala.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Headfirst Into the Meddle. Saturday, January 22, 2011. It's Been a While. What should I do with this blog? I just realized that the last time I wrote anything here was almost two years ago. Is it worth keeping? Should I turn it into a picture blog? Or a poetry blog? Or just close it for good. I remember the good fun I used to have writing here in the relative anonymity that I enjoyed. Now, things seems so different on a different portal, different expectations and a different audience. End it, finally?

Headfirst Into the Meddle. Friday, October 31, 2008. Rise of Machines: Fun, Fact and the Future. Uage technology, the human angle (yea I said it out loud) should not be overlooked. i.e the future of men when/if it ever happens that machines take over their work and capabilities. And rather than sweat to hasten the coming apocalypse for human translators, I can also poke fun from the safety of my still nuanced African linguo. More in my recent post at Instablogs.

Headfirst Into the Meddle. Wednesday, May 16, 2007. According to 20th century folklore, the laws of aerodynamics.

Had applied the equations of air resistance to insects and found that their flight was impossible, but that "One shouldn't be surprised that the results of the calculations don't square with reality".

Headfirst Into the Meddle. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Crossing Fingers for Adapted Poem. I have my fingers crossed for a piece of good news that could validate my attempt at passing myself off as a creative writer, a poet.
