Biltong Box

I’ve been craving biltong way too much lately so I went sourcing the webs and didn’t come up with anything really decent. The best I could find was around $25 for 1lbs (450g) plus delivery.

So I built my own box today.

Components :

1 x wardrobe moving box (home depot) 1 x set of […]

Stomach Vacuums

Here is an article that I found that really describes the concept of a stomach vacuum. By strengthening your inner abdominals (the ones that actually hold your gut in) you can greatly decrease the size of your belly and drop some real inches from your waistline.

Traditional ab exercises strengthen and build the abdominal […]

R10,000 fine for this guy

Today was a little strange. We have just finished moving house – the unpacking is done and the furniture is all assembled and arranged perfectly. The cable-guy is coming out tomorrow and I even have a working garage door (after searching for the remote for three hours).

The last thing on my list was to […]

Breakfast In Bed

I have never been one for eating breakfast (unless of course it’s at 4am and I don’t know what my name is). The reason is simply because I have always had trouble waking up in the morning. Since my very first schooldays, even though my mother tried her hardest to get me out of bed […]

Be My Friend?

My wife asked me an interesting question a few days ago. She wanted to know if I would ever add someone that I bullied at school as a friend on Facebook. Something about being mature and all adult like.

No really, I did

I said no, mainly because she had already started making […]

Credit Card Fraud – DRI*ELEMENT5.COM

Update: If any of this has happened to you, please leave a comment at the bottom of the page and let me know which state you live in, this seems to be happening especially to people who have paid traffic fines in NYC.

I had the unfortunate experience of having a fraudulent transaction posted to […]

Leaving Las Vegas

Not an original sign

Ah Las Vegas, Sin City and the Entertainment Capital Of The World. It is the iconic city of debauchery, nudity and gambling. Supposedly where everything and anything goes, which is partly true – if you can afford it.

To be fair to the countless people that have been to […]

Blu Ray Review

It’s time for the big review. This one is going to crush your dreams I’m afraid, but at least I’ll save you some money.

To start off with a disclaimer, I want to stress that I am not a video/sound professional, I have never worked during my high school holidays at an electronics store and […]

Time Lapse – Reception

So here’s my second attempt.

One of my gifts from my wife on my birthday was a night in a really beautiful bed and breakfast. We had a room looking over the courtyard and there happened to be a wedding reception going on.

200 frames (0.8″ exposure, f/3.5), played back at 15fps. I stopped just […]

Cheap Trips

I have heard from more than one person that my mother raised a very well mannered young man and that she should be proud of how I have grown up. They’re probably all right in saying that, I do have impeccable table

Is that a Rubiks cube?

manners, I hold doors open for […]

Flying School

On Friday night, (30th Jan 2009) three of us went to a Trapeze school in New York for our birthdays. It was a complicated gift giving between my wife, her brother and me.

There’s not much to say, other than after 2 hours we slightly looked like we knew what we were doing. No injuries, […]

Dating For Couples

I have figured out one downfall to moving around too much. After three countries in seven years, and numerous residences along the way, the size of my social posse has taken a serious beating.

And this is not a whining session that a mother would hear from an pre-teen geek who has no friends. No, […]

Final Goodbye

There was a stage in my life when I didn’t think I would ever be writing these words. I thought it would be difficult to write, or even worse, that you would be right there next to me keeping me distracted – maybe to the end.

This is my final goodbye.

I still remember when […]

Speaking Of Baseball

Speaking of baseball, I saw my first game on the weekend of 4th July. What better to celebrate Independance Day than with hotdogs, beer and America’s favo(u)rite pasttime.

I wish I could start off by saying that everything you see on TV and the movies is entirely untrue, but I can’t. It is exactly what […]

Having A Fat Day

And that day started about six months ago.

Not that I’m going all chick on everyone, but I’m just feeling heavy now, heavier than I used to be. I know the causes as well.

Number 1 – the American diet stinks. It’s difficult (and expensive) to buy fresh food, plus it’s a lot easier to […]
