Popular Mechanics Cool Tips
The other day I was reading a Popular Mechanics magazine when I got to the end and noticed a full page of reader-submitted tips. I LOVE tips. The shorter yet more valuable, the better. So, I thought I would share some of them with you in case you ever wondered if you should buy this magazine. A New Mobile Website BUT, before I do, I would like to mention that I’ve just added a new feature to this website. If you have an iPhone, or even cooler, a Google Android phone (I have the new HTC Desire, an AWESOME phone), then you can view this site in a mobile friendly format. Of course, if...
Read More3G iPhone
The 3G iPhone has been out in the U.S. for a couple of weeks now, and it sounds like people are still raving about it. In this article I talk about the cool new features of the iPhone that now means you have no excuse NOT to get the iPhone. And, there’s a video at the bottom which shows off all the new features and shows you what the iPhone really can do… The first time I wrote about the iPhone (in my post “Apple iPhone in South Africa“) I was writing about the original iPhone and said that I wouldn’t recommend that you buy it for the following reasons: EDGE...
Read MoreGenerators can be dangerous
So, South Africa is running short on power, and people are using Generators during load-shedding. But did you know that generators can be dangerous if you’re not careful? A few people have died already. Here’s a report of one death, and what you could do to prevent it. EISHKOM! If you live in South Africa (which about 50% of the readers of this site do), then you are probably affected by the load shedding that is currently going on in the country. Thanks to Eskom and the Government, it would appear that there currently is not enough electricity to meet the demands of the country....

Read it by clicking here: iPhone I was just walking through Sandton City Shopping Centre looking for my last Christmas Presents, when I spotted an iPhone in a shop window. I was actually trying to find a little geeky gift under R100 for my Christmas party (more on that after the party). I just HAD to ask the price, because we all know that sometimes it’s just good to buy yourself a Christmas Gift as well. I’m not sure...
Read MoreCanon EOS 40D in the Kruger Park
I’ve spoken about my excitement about the Canon EOS 40D a couple of times, and all I can say is: WOW!!! I’ve had it for 2 months now, and I think it’s AMAZING! I must admit, I am still getting used to it, learning all it’s features and functions, but I thought I would share a few photos that I took with the EOS 40D so that you can see exactly how it handles. The photos below were all taken in the Kruger National park game reserve here in South Africa. I used the Canon EOS 40D with a Canon 70-300mm lens. The best thing about using a Digital Camera is that you can take...
Read MoreCanon EOS 40D Digital SLR is ALMOST in South Africa
Well, Canon FINALLY decided to officially announce the coming of the Canon EOS 40D. After all the rumours that have been flying around, it’s finally time for me to get excited about the real product, though not as excited as I WILL be when I get the camera. I mean, like I mentioned in my article entitled “Canon EOS 40D D-SLR” I’ve been saving for 2 years to get this camera. I spoke to a sales assistant in a camera shop in Sandton and they said that it would take about 4 weeks after global launch date for the camera to hit the shelves in South Africa, and it will sell...
