Himalayan Techie

When went to Nepal in 2003 and 2005, I was lucky enough to meet and work with Mahabir Pun, who has spent years making cutting edge IT equipment work for his poor countrymen in the rural Himalayas. I ran into him again in Los Angeles last night. He was in the States speaking after getting a rather prestigious award. See the write up here.

Mahabir continues to be a major inspiration to me. His latest plans? Build a college in his remote mountain village by 2015, and wire all of Nepal. He'll do it; trust me. If you want to help him make it happen, let me know. Nepal is worth it.
