New ocean imminent in Africa

Tom James @ 06-10-2008

In epic multi-million-year world-changing news we find that a new ocean is forming as the African continent splits in two:

In northeastern Ethiopia one of the earth’s driest deserts is making way for a new ocean. This region of the African continent, known to geologists as the Afar Depression, is pulling apart in two directions—a process that is gradually thinning the earth’s rocky outer skin.

Blogger White African talks about a new concept of gaming that’s oriented at solving issues in the third world. By playing to find solutions for problems facing real world villagers many ideas and approaches might filter out the best practices. A unique idea, as long as the game is open enough to let some really original thinking into it. As White African also points out.
