It has been over six months since I first heard about Nata Village. A vlog by world traveller and producer Jon Rawlison on Rocketboom first gave me notice about this village in Botswana that is struggling with AIDS. Jon setup a blog that allowed the AIDS education and prevention efforts in this small village to reach the global community. The Internet can be used for good and bad. This is one of many examples of good.

The blog has regular updates and photos from the village. Donations for the work in Nata can also be made on the site.

Arstechnica is reporting that teens prefer using real-time and community communication tool rather than email. Teens say e-mail is for old people. This shift is slow but needs to be watched.

A glass or two of red wine can help reduce damage from a stroke (at least in mice)! Reuters reports that mice feed resveratrol, found in red grape skins and seeds, suffered less brain damage than those that did not.

Still not sure if this extends to humans, but Europeans have long enjoyed a glass of wine with a meal.
