  • About the daisies [Scribbling.net]
    “I can’t believe you want to excommunicate my daisies.”
    Much as I started reading blogs for the tech, it’s little anecdotes like these that really make my day.

  • Good Ol’ Rock. Nothing Beats Rock. at kev/null
    “Annual Rock Paper Scissors Tournament” — I can’t believe that this actually exists!! Good for Kevin and Sergio…

    Gapminder is an absolutely AMAZING tool. Some really scary statistics in there as well — especially for life expectancy (45 in SA vs 79 in UK)

  • We Are What We Do – Home – We Are What We Do authors of Change the World for a Fiver
    Cool idea

  • Treehugger: South Africa To Phase Out Incandescent Bulbs
    “South Africa has plans to phase out certain types of incandescent bulbs and replace them with more efficient compact fluorescent bulbs.”
    Nice one! I must admit, I do think that sometimes crap alternatives should be removed from the marketplace.
