Emmanuel Nyaletey and BridgeSolarPower.com

One must always balance the expression of joy against the "humble brag".  From time to time, I can't resist open enjoyment of the staffers and buyers who came to Good Point 


At this year's Orlando E-Scrap Conference, Emmanuel Nyaletey (and Patty Whiting) will be on a panel with our old friend, Jim Puckett.

Blog Readers will doubtless remember Jim Puckett's description of Agbogbloshie ("on the outskirts" of Accra rather than "dead center") in his creative writing essay "A Place Called Away". Less familiar, perhaps, was Emmanuel's 2014 X.com (TWITTER) video describing what Agbogbloshie actually is/was, from the point of view of a Ghanaian who grew up blocks away and who refurbished computers as a kid in Ghana.

The BridgeSolarPower.com plan is to work with OBADA.io to create Digital Product Passports. Africans who purchased secondhand solar panels - upgraded due to high real estate costs in OECD nations - can tag (QR code, blockchained) and regularly report on reuse for carbon credits.

Who might be against that?

Why the blog is moving increasingly to Twitter.

It forces me to distill important thoughts to faster messages.

My most "important thoughts" are dissecting "narratives" into actual facts, opinions, and (yeesh) group-think. Hopefully the tweets attract the attention of people (swordfish) actually capable of reading and understanding articles like "Time Out of Mined" (when I take an important blog or two and find a Resource Recycling or Recycling Today editor to help me polish it to the point where the editor at least understands "the good point" idea).


Ironically, The American Conservative writer Addison Del Mastro gets it.
