BetaNews | Google, EarthLink Join on San Fran Wi-Fi:

I thought they already had wifi in the city? I know when i was there, everyone just plopped down in a cafe and expected it to have wifi – and it usually did.

Fin24 : Eskom ‘hiding something’:
FIN24 : DA ‘wants action’ on Koeberg:
Fin24 : ‘Outages are minister’s fault’:

I laughed. The minister of Minerals and Energy (Lindiwe Hendricks) was heard to say in a radio interview that she “had no opinion” on the crisis in Cape Town. She also said “there is no crisis”.
Of course there’s no crisis! We’re all just overreacting! How silly of us!

Very clever….

You are Margaret.You have the ability to transcend the diluted and
jaded people around you. In fact you’re so
thoughtful and rational it actually holds you
back. You make good use of natural resources
in executing poetic justice. When it comes
to iron-fisted authority, you might be able
to go through the motions, but here’s hoping
you don’t sell out completely.

Letter to My Pets:

When I say to move, it means to go someplace else, not to switch positions
with each other so there are still two of you in my way.

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. All other
dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note that placing your paw
print in the middle of MY plate and food does not stake a claim making it
YOUR plate and food.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help in your quest to
reach the bottom first, because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about
this. Do not think that I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure
your comfort.

Dogs and cats actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not
necessary to sleep perpendicular to one another, stretched out to the
fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and
having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but
sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some
miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under
the edge of the door and try to pull it open. I must exit through the same
door I entered. Honest.

Also, I have been using the bathroom by myself for quite some time –
canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.

I can’t stress this one enough — kiss me, THEN go smell the other
dog’s/cat’s behind.

To pacify you, my dear companions, I have posted the following notice on
our front door:
Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and then Complain About Our Pets
1. The pets live here. You don’t.

2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
(That’s why it’s called “fur”niture.)
3. To you, our pets are just animals. To us, they are an adopted
son/daughter who happens to be hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak
clearly.
4. Dogs and cats are better than kids because:
- they don’t ask for money all the time
- they are easier to train
- they usually come when called
- they don’t hang out with drug-using friends
- they don’t need a gazillion dollars for a college education, and
- if they get pregnant, you can sell the children.
Pass this on to other pet-lovers in your life!

I _want_ this tshirt.
In fact, as soon as i get some money, i am ordering this tshirt.
