‘fessing up to the addiction
If you ARE SouthAfrican, been to South Africa, or happen to have given up your otherwise civilised life to make this wild country your home (or even.. ag, shaaame a South African far away from home). Can you quantify what the hell it is about this place that makes it get under your skin? It's...

Men of Magnificence (V’day special)
V’day indeed!

Veni Vidi Vino
I came, I saw, I drank (okay.. last of the geekdinner posts I promise). Guess this one should have a geek alert: my boet was laughing at me once again for being pathetically nerdy but I found it amusing (sitting for hours squished in a car roadtripping – if you’re a slighty hyperactive human –...
Stuff I remember from the GardenRoute geekdinner despite the shiraz
Stiaan is a legend, undoubtedly. Adore & respect his work, humour & good oke-ness more each time we connect. [He's trying to coax Belinda, his bubbly wife to blog & sat me next to her to begin the sale - I think she may've convinced me instead about keeping it real & moving to a...
blooming brilliant: roadtripping the Garden Route
One of the pleasures of roadtripping is discovering crazybeautiful spots along the way: tumbling your numb.bum out of the car and sharing the wander/wonder with your mates. Captain Chris took us to Herold’s Bay (home to Ernie Els) where he apparently spent many a rowdy night while doing his flight training. ^above^ the Cape Town...

Too 007 : Bond.ing & innovating against the clock
..”before we resume our regular programming: a word from our sponsors”.. AAAARGH!!! I swear I can hear an audible click as my brain defocusses and searches for an alt.activity to fill a few minutes. Oh I know there are those who remain placidly cow-eyed and obediently absorb, but increasingly our human immune response to, shall...
damn you guys rock!
I really want to tell you about how wonderful last night’s geekdinner was (think it may have been the global final for 2006 ). But a severe case of Christmas weekend writers block has befallen me zzzz :-/ .. my brain’s on cruise mode /// some lazy languid loll after a frenetic few days, nay...
Tempting F8 – quantum blogging anomaly suspected
I was courting the quirky gods of quantum mechanics I think.. for those of you who are getting the geekdinner post twice on your reader, apologies. I had to reconstruct quickly (but :’-( lost those great comments) The original post just vapourised! not a trace of it.. like an electron twinkling in & out of...
