Sleepingcreep, it's not really racist, although it is a little rude. If anything, the term would be nationalist. Since he was refering to the country.

I admire his ingenuity an resourcefulness. There's was another article in digg.com that highlighted how one African (Kenyan maybe) guy was powering his families house with renewable power on the cheap. He even built his own generator with battery storage! He was very ingenious!

quartzman says:

for having a illiteracy rate of over 70%, high levels of poverty and not to mention a high level of mortality rate due to disease I would say this person is hope to ingenuity.
I admire the guys desire to be informed and entertained and finding a way to power the device using lead acid battery.
Seems like the world we live in could learn to do more with less.

That's both impressive and hilarious .

It shows the lengths people will go to for music and the ingenuity people have. Another reminder to appreciate what I have.
