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.

Check out these cute iPod cases by Lime. With patterns, silkscreen, and hipster accents these cases have a simple design that seemingly places more emphasis on fashion than function. But, they’re so cute who really cares? While the sleeve design wouldn’t be my first choice when attempting to keep my iPod safe in demanding environments, Lime cases could make an excellent gift to teenage nieces or friends. Like a cute handbag or a pair of earrings, they add a bit of flair to any outfit. Perfect for those who like a little punk with their rock.

After those guys or girls or whoever had all that success with PostSecret (they’ve published 3 books), where ordinary cool people like us can submit their most intimate secrets for publication on the blog, there’s a new similar service online now.
The Art of Quiting Smoking is a Dutch website which asks visitors to contribute a quit smoking message in the most interesting way they can create. This is actually just fun - I don’t neccessarily think that it will be effective in helping or motivating anyone to quite smoking, because we all know smoking is addictive and all. But it’s still quite a cool idea, so check the site out.
Here’s a few previews:
