Not fair

If I can for a moment, break my three month blog-fast to say how annoyed I am with the current “women’s month” reporting in SA.
Over the last few days, I have heard countless news reports on the radio and tv that refer to SA’s “fairer sex”, and it totally baffles me how one could write [...]

A long way travelled, a long way left to go

I had an argument with a friend of mine yesterday. It wasn’t ugly or bitter, but it upset me massively. Maybe it was so much worse because we were stuck in a car together for five or so hours, and people can be a bit testy in those circumstances, but even though I realise this [...]

iBurst: a review (so far)

I finally got around to organising my home internet. I cant believe I’ve been without it for a full year! My initial thinking was that I’m already on the internet for 9 hours a day, not having at home would force me to be less reliant on it. But all I did was put myself [...]

Holiday round-up

So … granted this post will only be interesting to a few of my long-suffering friends, but I thought I’d write a “what I did on my holiday” post – in the Sub B / grade 2 style (with slightly fewer misspellings).
The dreaded family xmas turned out to be FANTASTIC. None of the things that [...]

And we’re back!

Happy 2009!
Eeek – almost out of this decade and we still don’t have an acceptable name for it! [Ed's note: the term "noughties" is too awful for words]

Holiday round up [...]

Merry Xmas!

New Cape Town Tourism website – yay!

I can finally reveal the project that has been keeping me up at night, keeping me at work late and keeping me super busy. We’ve just completed the new Cape Town Tourism website.
It’s beautiful and huge, and packed with content almost all of which went through my spreadsheets at one point or another, as I’ve [...]

Quick catch up

Only a few weeks into this blog and I already have a six day gap between posts, typical!
I’m running around like a headless chicken currently, doing all the things I poked fun at in this post, like trying to get into slightly better shape (gym trainer: check), finish up loads of urgent work (looming [...]

Cigarettes and Cinnamon

It’s a couple of months past the first release of this, but I finally found the video, so I thought I’d share it with you.
I love this song. And the Goth vs Eighties video really does it for me too (predictable, much?) …

Damn! Why isn’t the insert video thingy working Got [...]
