odd things.We're all bright, creative people, or so we'd like to believe. Creativity, like nuclear fission, has a way of getting a little out of control if you don't watch it carefully, and before you know it, instead of that cost-analysis spreadsheet you were supposed to write, you have... something else. Here's a small selection of quirkiness that is to a greater or lesser degree, my fault.
restaurant specials.Rate hikes... petrol prices... cost of living... the whole world's going bankrupt at a furious rate these days. What's a South African junk food lover to do? Check out the specials page and save yourself a few bob! Updated, well, sometime. Hopefully.
comet mcnaught.A ball of dusty ice and rock pays us a visit.
bubbleparking.Novel roadpainting antics at an unnamed technology institution led to much mirth amongst the employees.
fun with laser pointers.A fascinating visual study of technical people interacting with things that click and whirr and light up in entertaining ways.
teapots.Watch! as we cunningly stalk the Pipes Teapot. Quiver at! bizarre mutant pots oozing out of computer screens. Shock Horror! otherwise sane people wasted months of their lives doing this. I'm not sure why. Cows, or perhaps Robert Rankin, are to blame.
plugs.A while back, we got a new digital camera at work. The logical thing to do seemed to be to photograph some power outlets.
floppy disk enterprise.Admittedly not my idea - I'm not fascinated enough by lycra jumpsuits to ever amount to much of a trekkie. However, this person thought it would be nice to use those old floppy disks for good instead of evil, and where madness leads, I'm often inclined to follow, out of sheer bloody-mindedness or something.
the glider.Learn something new.
the banana phone.Is it a phone? Is it a banana? One of the great mysteries of the world.
