God Idols are a bunch of atheist friends and I, making fun of celebrities, Raellians, the Amish, and now Pentecostals.
Go watch it now! You get to see me wearing glasses. And drinking water. It’s hot. Me, not the water. Why would I be drinking hot water? That’s weird.
If you hate it, you can tell all [...]

This time around, I made MPD proud. I saw almost zero Anime, except for watching the cool bits of the Naruto Shippuden Movie, compliments of Otakumag.
After browsing around a bit, I met Adeeb. He runs the (secret) branch of Outer Limits in Cape Town. At great danger and expense, I got you, the faithful [...]
Just a reminder: ICON 2008 starts on Friday, 11 July! Details on their website.
Remember the good old days when you’d spend an hour after school typing in a game on your Sharp MZ-80A or Commodore 64, because you didn’t have any blank tapes left? I do.

I arrived early, a small miracle considering the traffic in Joburg, and my temporally incongruous tendencies. (”I’m not late Ma, I’m just temporally incongruous!”)
Was a bit intimidated at first, but after I picked a table to sit down at, it turned out to be really interesting. (Translation: I managed to ambush people with my theories, [...]
Hey. I know where you can get some music online. Shhh!
Why am I whispering? It’s all legal. You get to listen to streaming audio online for free. If you hear something you like (or love), you can shell out to download high quality tracks, or even have a CD printed and shipped to you. [...]
