What on earth went wrong with our country? Or maybe I should ask what went wrong with the people. First we heard of Jack Parow which was slightly entertaining but now we have “Die Antwoord” which is just plain common. “Die Antwoord” is doing very well oversees and took the word by storm. Lister to the music video and tell [...]

Funny how the word free always gets people to sit up and pay attention. For the last 4 years I have been using a Mac Computer that can’t get viruses and have amazing software like IPhoto that is only available for Apple Computers. IPhoto for those of you that don’t know it is a place [...]

If you look up awesomeness in the dictionary it will say Avatar right next to Upington Blog. LOL No, seriously. I watched the movie last night and for a lack of a better word it was amazing. I know not everyone like Sci-Fi Movies but this one crosses over into the have to watch section. [...]

Have you ever heard of the Hat Paying System? It really works, let me explain. What you do is you write every person you owe money to on a piece of paper. Get a hat and drop all the papers in the hat. Shuffle the papers and start taking them out until your money is [...]

The Kalahari Kuierfees was a blast! I am a first timer and will surely make a note on my calendar for next year. It came at a rather bad time of the month (end of month) and ticket prices and events set my family back about 2 grand but hey it’s only money right?  (Note [...]

Upington had a few clubs when I started visiting the town but as alcohol prices went up and [...]

Windows 7 Beta launched to the public, via download.microsoft.com, and I installed it on a Dell’s superb Studio Hybrid PC – that’s exactly the sort of stylish, miniature computer Microsoft wants users to have in their living rooms, at the centre of the much-vaunted “digital home”.

Om ‘n motor reg te maak is altyd ‘n stryd! Mens weet nooit hoeveel dit gaan kos nie en ek voel altyd soos ‘n aap as ek moet verduidelik wat fout is. Die keer moes ek weer van my onaardse, onmenslike, bo-natuurlike geluide gee om die simptome te verduidelik!
My vrou se motor (Volkswagen) het al [...]

Ster Kalahari is for a lack of a better word: Awesome! All my life I wanted to stay in a town I could go to the movies and have the best movie experience ever and love the fact that Upington can offer me this! One and a half hours of uninterrupted popcorn crewing, no screaming [...]
