Bat. Shit. Crazy.
Loving this fiasco!
parislemon:
Looks like someone woke up from his nap of the last three years and is hungry. Sadly, I don’t have much food for him. I’ll keep this as brief as possible — and I promise this will be the last thing I ever say about Dan Lyons, as he’s clearly done.
Feel free not to read. Or read Michael Arrington’s post on the matter. He takes a higher road than I’m about to. I’m...

The New Apple Advantage →
Indeed. Thus Tim Cook is AWESOME!
parislemon:
Great insight from John Gruber. While we all can see and appreciate Apple’s design — it’s what we don’t see that actually gives them their bigger competitive advantage: manufacturing and scale.
Apple has slowly been perfecting this over time. And newly minted CEO Tim Cook has undoubtedly been the key to this. Now that Apple has grown into a...

parislemon: What Needs To Be Said →
parislemon:
All day, I kept telling myself I shouldn’t say anything. Then I realized: what the fuck? Be honest.
I found Paul’s post tactless. And I found Erick’s response inappropriate. Perhaps both are fitting given the entire clusterfuck that is this situation. But both are also quite sad.
Many of you…

TRINATIONS: All-Blacks break millions of South...
What a game!! South Africa leading all but the last few minutes of what must be said was an EPIC TEST MATCH.. The Springboks showed that they have what it takes to be a winning team again but need to work on a few nigglies if tge want to triumph in the World Cup next year. The All-Blacks deserve to win althought they had a lot of unforced errors - especially from Dan Carter in the second half. ...
TRINATIONS: Boks lead half-time against All Black...
What an AWESOME 1st half! Some highlights: Gio Aplon’s takle on Mihalamo. Pierre Spies hand-offs. Morné Steyn consistant kicking. Great TRY FROM SCHALK BURGER!! Nigel Owens getting what’s due to him (: Enjoy the 2nd half! Cheers, Dries. Posted via email from Dries Grobler Jr | Comment »
Johan Botha the new Twenty20 SA Captain!
We all knew this was coming..If Graeme Smiths’ tweet is to be believed Johan Botha is the new Captain of the South African Twenty20 team: Congrats to him! This follows after the ODI skipper surprised his coach and most of the country by stepping down from T20 captaincy “ to prolong his Test career”. I think this is a great idea! The appointment should be confirmed a bit later...

Hazmat? on highway
Last Friday was the first time I saw the Electronic Traffic Boards on the N1 into Cape Town being used after the World Cup. It was showing “Drive Carefully” and “CAUTION! HAZMAT SPILL ON RAMP CLOSED”. First I thought it was some kind of Islam Catering company that spilled some of there sauces or something similar but I must admit this seemed unlikely. I really have (had)...

ANC distances itself from Malema's comments -...
I thought this important enough to copy the entire IOL article:
The ANC has issued a statement about ANCYL President Julius Malema’s widely condemned actions during a press conference.
Here is the full statement:
ANC condemns untoward behaviour towards journalists
The ANC strongly condemns the behaviour of ANC Youth League President, cde Julius Malema, towards a BBC TV journalist, John...
AWB's Secretary-General causes chaos in E News TV...
This seems to be getting a little crazy. This is all the after affect of Julius Malema signing ‘Shoot the Boer’ and AWB leader Eugène Terre’Blanche’s subsequent (seemingly related) murder by two of his farmworkers shortly after. Here is the video: Some News articles on the matter: News24, Times Live, The Star. Even Twitter seems a bit abuzz with this story:...

Jack Parow - Cooler as Ekke (VIDEO en LYRICS)
Hierdie video is AWESOME! Jack Parow maak Afrikaans weer cool (of kommin) Hier is die lyrics (via watkykjy.co.za): Jy dink jy’s cooler as ekke, want jy rook Yves Saint Laurent sigarette Jy dink jy’s cooler as ekke, want jy’t ‘n tattoo van ‘n slang op jou tette. Jy dink jy’s cooler as ek, want jy’t ‘n plakkaat van Led Zeppelin bo jou bed Jy dink jy’s cooler as ek, want jy’s elke jaar by die...
