Oxford Professor, David Thomas, is doing a study that claims that Global Warming might unleash “Sand Seas” in Africa; specifically Southern Africa. The gist is that more drought and more wind will stop vegetation settling the dunes down and so the desert will expand. Read more at this National Geographic post. I still can’t wait…

Ek het ontdek dat die eerste Heunis in Suid Afrika was Hermanus Heunis. Hermanus Heunis was gebore op die 19de 1798 in Leiden, Nederland. Hy’t Suid-Afrika toe geimmigreer in 1798 (toe hy 30 jaar oud was). Dit beteken dat ons lot nou al 207 jaar lank in Suid-Afrika is. Hermanus het sommer in sy eerste…

Admittedly it was written by someone who calls himself a born again Redneck, but the post is very well researched. There are some disturbing photos as well.

I don’t know how many people have seen the new Sony Bravia advert, but I think it is fantastic. See the Sony Bravia advert. The music is one of the things that make it. The song is called Heartbeats and it is off the album Veneer by Joze Gonzalez. You can buy it from iTunes.
