This guy put me to shame.
I got an Arduino Duemilanove, the internet as my library, and lot of electronics to scavenge. I only produced something as insignificant as a working CD-ROM motor and some LEDs light.
He produced a windmill power generator!

William Kamkwambe did not put you to shame. With any luck, he will have inspired you! You and I live in an environment saturated with information and technology. Maybe you'll be inspired to accept a slightly less extravagant lifestyle in exchange for some charitable donations? Maybe you'll be inspired to use your skills to do some work overseas where it could alleviate real suffering?
The beauty of this story is that it makes both the plight of many people and the prospect of manifold solutions seem more real. What you do or do not do with William's contribution will be your source of pride or shame.
