My latest gadget acuisition is a tiny Sony Microvault Thumbrive ( PenDrive). Its literally no bigger than my big thumbnail (no i dont have enormous thumbs either!).
These little drives measure only 3 cm long by 1.5 cm wide by 2.4 mm thick and the 4gb of space is enough to run a portable version of linux.
With the month of love now well behind us and the warmth and fuzziness of Valentine’s Day gone cold… serial daters beware!
www.dontdatehimgirl.com is a site dedicated to all those not-so-well-meaning guys out there. The site is used as a tool to warn gals (and I suppose some guys out there) about a certain percentage of the male population. Cheaters, beaters, spongers… you name it. Members of the site are allowed to create profiles on the men in their lives, to warn other unsuspecting females about them. This profile can include anything from pictures, to birthdates and nicknames. It’s a no holds barred web extravaganza of dirt.
The site is also a powerful online community of women from around the world and has been the subject of international media attention, with features in the Sunday Times of London, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. Even major television networks such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and television shows like the Today Show, DR. Phil and Montell Williams have mentioned and discussed the site on their shows.
Questions surrounding whether allowing a site like this to publish the intimate details of certain individuals is ethical, have been raised but not yet been successfully answered. Although one can probably argue that warning woman against men (who in some instances may be regarded as dangerous) can be seen as in the public’s interest.
In light of today being Valentine’s day… and although I do know that it is a commercialised day to make us all spend money, I still find stories like this simply heart-warming.
An elderly South African couple this week proved that true love conquers all. The Free State natives who were married for 54 years, died within hours after each other.
Pikkie, 80 and Koekie de Beer, 76, who had lived in a retirement village for the last seven years, were described as a real life Romeo and Juliet. After spending over half a century together, Pikkie died last week Wednesday whilst his wife passed away during the early hours of the Thursday morning thereafter.
Although the story certainly is bitter sweet it is still comforting to know that in this age of quickie marriages and subsequent divorces that love can survive through the years and even keep partners together after they have left the realm of this earth.
Just a quick note about a new blog that is affiliated to The Cool Crowd. The blog is called DailyGlamour.net and it features non-nude, elegant and sexy images of various models and actresses. Support this site too.
Here’s the screenshot:
We know this is a Photoshopped image, but it still looks kinda cool. Image these trucks on the road!? On their first appearance on the roads, people will probably be in accidents all around them from staring at this weird truck…
