We interrupt regular programming to bring you Fatboy Slim’s – Weapon of Choice music video.
Posted here because a) It’s brilliant work, and b) to let you know that MTV is now offering a whole stack of their music videos online, free. Throw away your television. Enjoy the revolution.
On Thursday I decided to eventually bite the bullet and beat the rand/dollar threat by just ordering the camera lens I’ve been looking at for a long time – the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8D. So there were a couple options – wantitall.co.za, have2have.co.za were the first two that came to mind. Unfortunately these guys don’t carry stock, so the price was tagged to the rand dollar of the day, unlike the *real* business, SAcamera, who carry stock and can fulfill orders fast, and change their prices based cost of their orders and a markup, not on the cost of a dollar that day.
What’s more, I ordered the lens on Thursday, paying via credit card. On *Friday afternoon* at 16:28, a few minutes before I was chasing my first beer of the weekend, I received an sms updating me that the order had just been shipped. I thought all Capetonians would be on the beach by that time! I was also able to track the shipment as it passed the various waypoints of delivery. Monday morning the lens was at the office before I was.
Even better, my order is probably for one of the cheapest lenses they carry, but I felt like I’d spent a million bucks with the way the transaction went down.
Nice work, SAcamera! You’ve won a new dedicated customer.

Worth watching simply to see the hottest girl on TV drop that f-bomb. Go Ms. Panettiere!

In perhaps the most fitting tribute to the shaky world economy, Chairperson of the Finance Portfolio Committee, Nhlanhla Nene, is brought down to earth.
Biker Sandor Ferenci landed himself in the poop with the English police by telling them about his stunt clip which had been posted to YouTube. Of course the motorist who ratted him out to the cops in the first place is the real, well, rat. Get out of your cage and get a life, moron! Anyone who can pull a wheelie like that on that bike (and there are many people who can) deserves a medal, not punishment.
So 12 weeks in choekie for Sandor it is. I’m sure he’ll be back to reap the rewards of his new found fame.
