Heri ya kuzaliwa kwa KBW. Kazi mnayofanya ni mfano wa kuigwa. Ninyi ndio mlinichochea nikaanza kublogu na pia kazi zenu zimekuwa zikinisukuma kuendelea kutangaza faida za teknolojia hii: wewe, Mshairi, Ory, Maitha, Mama Junkyard’s, na wengineo wengi. Mnafanya kazi kubwa pengine kuliko ninyi wenyewe mnavyojua. Harambee!! (Nyayo!… za KBW na sio za Baba Moi au Kibaki!)
