choice?
i read with great satisfaction today that south africa will finally get another player in the pay-tv arena. the newest (and only other pay-tv option) is on digital media. finding out what they are offering is proving hard to find but with options from R99/month and R249/month it is significantly cheaper than their rivals, where they offer a full boutique (without extra's) at R529/month. this is indeed good news and will hopefully give the consumer much more choices...

awww, cute
last night ed and pulled a late one, for a sunday anyway. the occasion was my brother's dog was having puppies. what an experience! i have been around animals that have had puppies / kittens before, but as a kid and i was never really there in a sense - having woken up the next morning and there were some cute, little things...
out of the litter of 5, there is only one boy, there rest are girls (one boy didn't make it) and they have such characters already. there's even one that looks so much like mom, aka mini-sheeba!
they are seriously so cute and mommy sheeba is such a good and brave dog. i am so proud of her and excited about the puppies...

Codename: Milan
wow, this is pretty cool. it's a coffee table with a touchscreen, running on a windows vista os.
it's actually a little more than that. it's revoluntionary and due to be launched as soon as november 2007.
according to the possibilities promo video, you'll be able to split the bills by simply dragging your items across to your credit card. it also recognises physical objects, but i bet they have to have microsoft os's...
another video, a demo on how they envision this working the real world

i like
i've been hearing this old sounding song on the radio (kfm)... and it turns out it sounds old but it's a new artist called amy winehouse. i managed to listen to a few tunes and i am really digging it.
time to drive ed nuts by looping my fav tracks, lol!
i must admit her hairdo is abit odd, but i guess if it rocks her boat...

it's small
it's amazing how things turn out. you couldn't plan it better. you couldn't imagine it happening.
this past friday i wasn't going to go "large" because on saturday morning was my stop smoking course. my decision to not go "large" flew out of the window though when to my surprise (and melanie's), my name actually got drawn and i did infact win an ipod nano. we had joked about it and i had told a few people around me that i was going to win it, but when they called my name i didn't quite believe it... a few tequila's later, i managed to force myself and ed to go home. i was so sick when we finally did get home.
i felt rotten all of saturday morning, nevermind some-one trying to get me to stop smoking, it seems a few tequilas do the job just fine!
i've managed to not smoke on sunday and so far so good for today. it's a little tough but it's not either. there are some key smokes that start winding you up. for me, i have discovered, it's the one i have after breakfast at work...
it's not as tough as i thought it would be and i am glad that i am now a non-smoker! yay!
oh and i have an ipod nano, woohoo!
