  1. White TV Jesus speaks Malagasy now.

    Have Malagasy people ever been presented a dark-skinned depiction of Jesus? Ever? Based only on the statuary I've seen around Antananarivo — sickly pinkish-yellow and bleeding — I'd guess that Jesus in Madagascar is still suffering from a colonial hangover.

    (To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy) If you want to listen to an hour-long round table in French on the intricacies of the global rice market... you might be Malagasy.

    So few bananas on this cart. Inefficient, but not "driving an SUV for one bag of groceries" inefficient.

  7. I'm pitching an animation job to a client.

    I fired up FlipaClip for the first time in months and found this thing I did. Time to go pro, eh?

  12. A street vendor sells something I've never found in Madagascar's grocery stores: locally-made peanut butter that doesn't come in a plastic jar. Signed by the artist!

  15. This almost looks impressive if you don't know this is an ancient laptop that belonged to my mother, now fighting for its life just to run Lubuntu.

    It's connected to the cheapest monitor I could find in my Madagascar neighborhood. (I really need a new computer.)

    It's surprisingly hard to find laptops with QWERTY keyboards in Madagascar.

  18. Happening now: At a cybercafe in Antananarivo, using Lubuntu on an old Dell to download an old version of macOS Ventura, to save an old Mac, while arguing with Claude about its pessimistic attitude, and hoping the power doesn't cut.

    Another day in Madagascar. I need a new computer.

    13 Chinese online scam centers in Madagascar shut down. Damn!

  21. A new addition to my Marginalia gallery.

    Created while attending a parent orientation meeting at my daughter's school, while a teacher sitting next to me simultaneously translated the proceedings from Malagasy to English.
