Quiet after the storm

So here’s the low down. Kidz Africa had a slight wobbly after a stupid oversight of mine (forgot 2 change permissions on the .htaccess file so the WP DB couldn’t rename pages…woops), but all is well now, thank goodness.

This weekend I’ve got some mates coming down from Knysna and I’m looking forward to a nice active weekend for the first time in ages. I realized I’ve become a total workaholic. I don’t really mind because I love coding… I fall …

Jason Mraz - A-Z

I had to share. I’ve just downloaded acquired the new Jason Mraz album called “A-Z” and I’m just as impressed as when I heard his first offering to the music world.

The guy with too many consonants in his surname is back with more funky tunes and his unmistakable style. “Geek in the pink” is so far one of my favorites. Don’t read too much into that one. Its just a song name people. “Life is wonderful” and “Mr …

Weird Sports

I stumbled across an article on PimpsR.us regarding probably one of the weirdest/coolest/strangest/most idiotic sports yet…depending on how you look at it.

Remember when we were kids, and a trip to the public urinal/swimming pool was a family event? Once you and your mates got tired of giving each other wet wedgies and playing the the pool noodle, you all eventually ending up having ‘bombing’ competitions. Water bombing that is… You’d try get the highest splash. Each person …

Mars as big as the moon

Okay so there’s this crazy rumour going around that Mars is going to be the size of the moon this month. That’s right, the moon, or, roughly the size of Oprah’s ass.

Let’s just think about that. Now i’m no expert on planetary alignment but if Mars is going to be that big, shouldn’t we be seeing it gradually increasing in size? How fast must this planet move to suddenly be that size in the sky? Unless of course it’s …

Time Wasting Flash Games

These things are freggan addictive!! I know it might be old news for some, but I thought I’d mention it anyways. Mousebreaker is a site that’s jam packed with loads of little flash games. They load in a second and they’re brilliantly addictive and fun. My favorite is the 4wd monster truck game… ooh.. and the BMX backflips one..

Although I’m sure those high scores aren’t realistic…Its a conspiracy I tell you! I play my heart out at …
