Surely this poor bugger can be fitted with a sort of “auto tune” device that will tweak his voice lower do he can have buddies? Shame!

Joe Paterno
Sad to see this chap has died - being not American, it doesn’t affect me, but i think it’s sad that this guy had an amazing career for 40 year-odd, was beloved by everyone in the nation (They affectionately called him “Joe Pa”), and then right at the very end, he handled a situation a bit poorly, was fired in disgrace and died shortly thereafter.
What a short, sharp ending...

Jay-Z Won't Say Bitch Now With Daughter →
What a degenerate. Now that he has a daughter suddenly it’s a problem. Never mind the millions of “men” who now think its an acceptable thing to call someone else’s daughter. Narcissism.

More about SOPA and PIPA – End Piracy, Not Liberty... →
This is a great 2 minute read for Google about why SOPA and PIPA are bad news. Interesting if you aren’t sure what the fuss is all about with this Internet free speech thing.

You Never Marry the Right Person
Very interesting article by Tim Keller, courtesy of Ross Lester for posting the link!
The article:
How our culture misunderstands compatibility.
In generations past, there was far less talk about “compatibility” and finding the ideal soul-mate. Today we are looking for someone who accepts us as we are and fulfills our desires, and this creates an unrealistic set of expectations that...

What The Heck Is Responsive Web Design? →
My goodness - I’m excited for the type of websites we can build in 2012.
Check this out. Use the arrow keys (especially press the ‘back’ key when the page loads at first), or the spacebar to get around. Very nice.

What I Learned In Rome, pt 2: Excellence
The next thing I learned while in Rome, on my first visit outside of South Africa, is that we can afford to do things with the same amount of care and pride that Europeans do things. By comparison we South Africans are quite sloppy in our work. What I observed in Rome is that the Italians do everything with a level of pride and a certain aspiration towards excellence. Everything - from the way...

What I learned in Rome, pt 1
This trip to Rome (December 2011) was my first trip overseas (I had visited Mozambique before, but you drive there, and we share a border with them, no ocean-crossing needed, so this I classify as my first ‘overseas’ trip - and it’s the first time I left the African Continent in 31 years.)
Being my first trip out of Africa, and the many people telling me how much it would open...
