This is not something I thought I'd ever put on my "I want one of those" list: a thermostat. Not just any thermostat, I want THIS thermostat...
This is the Nest thermostat.
Not only does it look pretty slick, it's functionality is pretty damn amazing. You don't need to program it, just adjust your thermostat as you need it for a …
My mum and niece went away for the weekend and decided that they were going to have a braai on Sunday evening for dinner. Nothing flash, just two burgers. Now the catch: mum hasn't made a fire in years, if ever, and Sami has never made a fire, let alone one to cook food on.

Notice the Northern Cape, the huge empty area above the Karoo National Park?…
This is a great, if what slightly dark, analogy to explain how different nations deal with the debt and other current economic crises ...
There is a dead body on the kitchen floor, and blood everywhere. It is dealt with in different ways, by different nationalities. The British find it hard to cope with, but try to clear up the mess…
