I-mode for Diary

Demotech is a dwelling made out of ideas in which some people sometimes live. It may help to gather these ideas under the one name "Demotech", but sometimes it feels more real to present oneself not as "We, the company", but simply as I, the writer.
As I, Reinder van Tijen, write these news items, I could also write them as personal comments, as a kind of diary. I expect reporting on progress with Demotech work, will be nicer work if I can do it from a personal point of view.
There is a good reason to start today in this "I-mode". New today is the ease of adding NEWS to this page. Marc programmed all the buttons for easy access and this is the first time I use them.
Real news today is the stack of battery bags and holders for electronic parts, both in preparation for the NightReaders to be taken next week to Bangui in the Central African Republic. I am fascinated by the enthusiasm on reception of the first NightReader by the local people. I want to know how it works out when more people will use this little light. Kim, the anthropologist, working in Bangui for Doctors without Borders, will listen to the comments and let me know what people think about it.
The plan to go to Bangui myself takes more shape. I hope to verify the NightReader fulfills a real need. If so, I hope to encourage local manufacture. The design as it is now, should make this possible. I-mode, diary fashion of writing news starts today, as Marc has programmed useful buttons to facilitate this. News was working with my neighbor Paula on NightReader parts to be shipped to Bangui next week.
