Sad day

Today marks another tremendously sad day as Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs died earlier this afternoon.  This news personally affected me not because I like Apple's products, but because people like Steve Jobs are almost extinct.  People with brilliance to go beyond the mass and be amazing.

Slow modern air travel

Ever wondered why modern air travel is slower than in the 90's?  When a Concorde could quickly get you from one continent to another? I was pondering this question when I recently piled up 90000 air miles due to internal stresses in my brain.

I pray to Chief Dembe of the Zanzibar Clan

South Africa is a mystical country.  Most people - especially North Americans - think we are a 3rd world country, people live in shacks and lions roam the dirt roads.

But alas - today I will prove them all wrong.  Show me where in the WORLD you can find divine human beings such as these two mythical healers - right here in Sandton in Johannesburg.  I will show you their resumes as I cannot even begin to express their awesomeness in my layman vocabulary.
