Author: Vote!
I received this in my email. I cannot vouch for the source, but I support the sentiment. If you are South African and will be at lease 18 years of age on 22 April 2009, I urge you to read this.
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) …
My next car
A Vision blue Ford Fiesta 1.6 Trend. I've made up my mind. I really like the Fiat Bravo 1.4 Sport, but I can't afford R215 000 for it, even with a trade-in.

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.

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.
First sighting of a Renosterperd
Renosterperd!
It's my newly-coined Afrikaans word for unicorn.
