Keep your Knives and scissors

It has finally been ruled that airline passengers are allowed to take all kinds of nail clippers, knives shorter than 4 inches/ 12cm and tweezers, NT cutters and other highly terrifying tools of terrorism(sic) back onto the planes for their trips. Freedom at last. Keep your stuff. The five year collection period has ended. Maybe [...]

I passed out at around 9 on Coll’s couch (can you believe I’m still jet-lagged, plus slightly ill?), but not after her [...]

jon stewart on gay rights

Great video clip on current homo-events in the US, South Africa and England on Crooks and Liars (links directly to video clip – both Windows and QuickTime versions).

those crazy capers

So, there was that ekapa conference in cape town this last week. I, unfortunately, didn’t make it – was overseas – but heard some interesting things about it. The ballot seemed to have a lot more non-SA Africans on it, rather than the usual suspects, but I also heard there were a few no-shows, and [...]
