I’m taking a brief break from my busy schedule of blogging to give you a message of hope, South Africanese and enjoyable reading. A friend, Alex, has started a lovely little site called “Old Takkies Indaba” (for our foreign friends, Takkies are sneakers). It’s a great collection of stories from South Africans both local and [...]
Yep. I have writer’s block. I can’t for the life of me think of something interesting enough to blog about so you get this post instead. My most humble apologies to my three readers. The thing is, I often get this way and it’s one of the reasons I haven’t yet finished a book that [...]
No really. I have two so I’ve had some time to observe them. At the best of times they’re peculiar little beasts. A strange blend of cute, sweetness and evil-minded viciousness that puts the worst overbearing parents to shame. Some of them are also not very good at being cats. A case in point is [...]
Just a quick bit on a couple of movies. I just finished watching Marley & Me with my wife and it’s a surprisingly good watch.

But now… which laptop? I’m hovering between the Leovo S10 and the Lenovo N100. The S10 is a cute, tiny little thing coming in at only 1 KG total weight. Sexy too. Comes in a variety of colours. The N100 has more features and is more “real laptop” sized than the S10 but lacks the [...]
Pretty much between being responsible and bored or frivolous and interested. It’s bonus month this month and I need to get myself a Birthday present. Now, this could be: 1) DVDs from Amazon. So pretty. 2) Tools, tools and more tools. There are a couple sets of Gedore tools that I’d really like to get [...]

Following in the footsteps of a great man, I’ve decided to do my own goals for 2009. Yes, I’m aware that it’s halfway through the year but this list is part of my “become more organised” mindset.With no further ado, here they are (in no particular order): 1) Own and run 15 websites. Not as [...]
