No flying backwards with Air Botswana this year. Instead we will be driving all the way, crossing the Makadikgadi Basin half-way Botswana to visit Kubu Island.

Marco de Lange managed to get us in business class ;-)

This will be our tank: Landrover Defender 130:

Interview about the partnership with IBM

Yesterday, Ed Brill  and I contributed to episode 162 of the famous Taking Notes Podcast by Bruce Elgort and Julian Robichaux.

Reason was that Ed Brill had publicly made the announcement (link) on his blog about the expended partnership between my company Trust Factory and IBM entered into with regards to our DNA Analysis Services.

Despite the hick-ups I caused while Ed was talking (people pinging me on Skype and my Mac started shouting that Notes needed my attention), it was a very nice and learning full experience for me.

I really think Bruce and Julian did a great job 'polishing' my input up into an excellent podcast. These guys are real pro's.

Anyway, listen for yourself (warning: the first 60 seconds are an advertisement):
