Today is Percival Lowell’s Birthday.
huh, who…

Percival Lowell was a world famous astronomer who thought that there were canals on our sister planet Mars . He spent many years researching Mars, and came up with loads of interesting things about this relativley unknown planet.

Now google has joined the space race, and following on from their mapping of the moon last year, and now have mapped out Mars out for us.

Amazing stuff, allowing us to see all sorts of interesting things, from Lunar Landings to Mountains on our friendly neighbour.

Hot on the heels of the SA Blog Awards, (which are being held on the 16th of March) news24.com presents South Africa’s first Blog-Off.

“…news24 has decided to pitch the best SA blogs against each other to find the nations top bloggers…”

Interesting with a 5 Grand first prize, 2 and a half K second, and a measly one five clips for third, its defenitly something to be sneered at.

So get entering, and remember when you win, sharing is caring…

After much blood, sweat, tears & loads of cursing, they have finally done it…

More to come soon… (and this time I promise)

Awesome. Thats the only word i can use to describe my weekend. The A1 GP in durban was a blast. I was lucky enough to spend all 3 days at the race, and with full on rain on Friday, a scorcher on Saturday and lovely overcast weather on Sunday, I have a full on “my dad is a farmer”sunglasses tan .

The race was won by ex F1 Dutchman, Jos Verstappen. South Africa came 5th in the main race which was brilliant consedering that he started 20th and there were only 8 cars left in the race.

The atmosphere was incredible with evry single person supporting all the drivers.
Those cars are LOUD, and fast. Even though I have only been living in Durbz for 2 and a half years, I still think it was absolutley amazing what was pulled off this weekend. If you watched on TV you will know what I mean. The track was built in only 12 weeks, and was super cool.

Here are some of the pics I took with some more to come sooon :)

There has been a phenomenon that has hit South Africa in the last couple of year. Pro20 Cricket is seriously a fantastic couple of hours entertainment. Even if you don’t like cricket the atmosphere at these games is unbelievable. And the rules are so simple

Last night’s game between the Warriors and the Eagles was super cool. The Warriors lost by 100 runs, and the Eagles kicked butt. And there is loads more to come.

This is the type of format of cricket they need to introduced to the Americans. They love these fast paced games, which are over in a couple of hours. I’m almost positive that they will love it.

Its Wicked Cricket
