Blog

I have giving much though to my blogging existence, or the lack there of, and have decided to pull my finger out of my Ass, and get blogging.

After doing a bit of my Monday Morning browsing of the net, I was goign through one of my Favourite SA sites, TashiTagg.com

This site is really an awesome South African Site, and they generally cover Reality TV and the sorts. They cover Survivor, The Apprentice South Africa and my fav, The Amazing Race. Its quite nice to go to a local site, after every episode, without getting spoilers of who won the Race, seen as US is so far ahead of us with these programmes.

Anyway, back to the point, on the TashiTagg site, they have a really cool forum. Never been one to post in forums, I read through them Daily, and came across one topic, called “Do you Blog ?“
Suprisingly there were quite a few people, who didn’t know what blogging was, or thought it was a swear word :)

Out of the woodwork, there seem to be quite a few more South African bloggers out there, so After reading Aquila’s Post on New South African Bloggers this morning, I decidd to add another 3 That I found in the Forums.

• Cloudgazer
• Shallow Thoughts
• Cape Boy

And now for me to think of some stuff to blog….

Three people you want to know these things about:
Rich…! from Jo’Blog – seen as he made the last comment on my blog
Ekapa – Nice Intersting Guy
The Salami from splattermail – Now this is where things could get interesting ??

I Have decided that with all the cool google maps posts (from commentary guys, and cherryflava) goign on here in SA, it was high time for oue own “google sightseeing” tour in SA. So I have created another blog called Satellite ZA

Anyone can mail me some cool South African Landmarks, which I will attempt to add to the blog on a daily basis. You can mail me on [email protected] and I will try and post the landmarks….

See you on the maps… :)

Ok, I suck. I have been rather slack and when Rich…! from Jo’Blog commented on my last post that I hadn’t posted anything since May, I offically felt bad. So for the last few days, I have been trying to think of something to post, nothing…Nadda…Eish

Until I recieved this blog post from Google Sightseeing this morning, in my bloglines notifier. So I took a look around and chanced my arm with looking for South African Sattelite Maps. And what do You know….they are there…Amazing…Well not all of them are in Hi Res, so they not all that clear, but still its a step forward, which hopefully means Google Maps will eventually cover South Africa. I know I seem to be a google maps freak, but they are seriously amazing…

Some places in SA, I found so Far….

Durbz by de See (Not that great pic Quality, but you can still identify most things)
Pretoria, which is High – Res, which means you can zoom right down to street level, and even seem the Hollowed fortress of Loftus
Cape Town also seems to be a not so great with the Resolution, and the table cloth defenitley seems to be on top of table mountain ?

If anyone else comes across some cool places, leave a message in the comment…

News24 reports that the Penis-pulling wife died after jerking her husband’s chain 1 to many times.
Shame poor guy…

“He is very remorseful. They have a child. But he could not bear to be woken up like that any more…”….I dont blame the poor oke…

OUCH !!
