Being picked up from the airport in a chauffeur driven limo is something I was not expecting. But it was definitely something that I had always wanted to experience. So as I was whisked away to the 15 on Orange Hotel with my newspaper and spring water bottle in hand, I thought of what I could expect on the Nokia Ovi Maps launch in Cape Town. I was greeted personally by the doorman and ushered in...

The topic of online romances is in itself is both stupid, fantastic and fascinating. Apparently one in every eight couples meets online and they are happy. In my teenage years I met a lot of people online. And not in that creepy “Hi, ASL? What you wearing?” kind-a-way. But in that meeting of minds. I had a string of romances which started online.

Something funny is happening to the population of Earth. And not funny in the same way that watching cyclists ride into things is funny – and slightly satisfying. I base this claim on my family. My younger brother is most definitely not a nerd. He’s always been one of the cool kids, and had far more social skills than I ever did.
