Ok, time for a little humour for Friday.
Enjoy the jokes…
Lizards are my herb garden guardians
I’m not sure whether you like lizards or not, but I’m guessing you’d probably prefer not to find one in your house.
But, I have quite a few that live in the garden, and about 4 or 5 that live right in my herb garden.
Since they “moved in” (well, started their little family, because I’ve seen a few grow from tiny little things to quite large lizards), the number of unwanted bugs in my herb garden has DRAMATICALLY decreased.
At one point there were quite a few large ants that seemed to be taking over, especially over my basil tree, but now there are no ants to be seen. I’m not sure if lizards eat ants, or just keep them out, but I’m happy.

3G iPhone
The 3G iPhone has been out in the U.S. for a couple of weeks now, and it sounds like people are still raving about it.
In this article I talk about the cool new features of the iPhone that now means you have no excuse NOT to get the iPhone.
And, there’s a video at the bottom which shows off all the new features and shows you what the iPhone really can do…
The first time I wrote about the iPhone (in my post “Apple iPhone in South Africa“) I was writing about the original iPhone and said that I wouldn’t recommend that you buy it for the following reasons:
- EDGE connectivity speeds (about dial-up modem speed)
- Only a 2 MegaPixel camera (which it still seems to have)
Now, there is absolutely NO REASON why you shouldn’t buy the iPhone. Here’s why:

Credit Card Security Tips
The next list of tips in my Safety and Security series is related to Credit Card Fraud.
These tips were also part of the security update document sent out by my company that I thought should be shared with everybody. We are all affected by crime in one way or another, and any extra awareness can help.

Surviving a Robbery
Home Security Tips for South Africans
My Company recently sent out an email with a list of Security Tips and Suggestions because of the escalating crime rate in the area.
I thought it would be good to share it with the rest of South Africa (and the world) because everybody can benefit from extra awareness and ideas.
Flexible Love designer chair
I was just browsing the internet (as we tend to do when we’re supposed to be working) and I saw this video.
It’s a chair called “Flexible Love”, and don’t worry, it’s totally safe to view this video at work.
Apparently a design student came up with the concept.
I doubt it’s available in any furniture stores here in South Africa right now, but I thought I would share the video with you anyway, JUST because it looks so cool.
