I don’t envy Obama

Even if it was the angry old white man in the White House, I wouldn't envy anyone in that position right now. The US economy is in a recession, major corporations are closed or closing, and the world is not very amused with George W Bush.

I think I finally understand what netbooks are for

Netbooks – I mean, what's the point, right? It's like Tom Cruise pretending (badly) to be a Nazi soldier, but not changing his accent. Granted, there is a school of acting which says you shouldn't do the accents and just be yourself, but I think I'm off on another Tomcruise Tangent (I'm copyrighting that) …

Smiters of Iniquity New Year – 22 May 2009

There's still time to buy your charcoal pills to celebrate BS 4.1, the first day of the new year, falling on 22 May 2009 on the Gregorian Calendar. For that matter, I am revising the SOI calendar from BS 4, so keep watching.

On renosterperd and other horses

Will someone please tell me, even if it's dirty, what a mannetjiesperd is? I'm not sure of the spelling, but apparently it isn't what it appears to be (much like the renosterperd).

Obama and tomato

Last year I said McCain would win, and if Obama won, I'd eat tomato. Well, I'm glad Obama won, and that the Electoral College made the right choice. In the meantime, I am pretty sure there was tomato in the bobotie my mother-in-law made on Sunday, so that's that, then.

Renosterperd!

It's my newly-coined Afrikaans word for unicorn.

Kgalema Motlanthe
