“So, Are You Going To The Singapore GP?”
Tuesday, 19 February, 2008

I’ve been getting this question quite a bit lately. My answer is always a straight “No”. (Unless you wanna give me free tickets, of course!) … Reasons To Go Seriously folks, why pay exorbitant amounts of money to go to catch the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix? It’s just a money-squeezing exercise by the organisers, if [...]

The Dwight Howard “Superman Dunk”
Monday, 18 February, 2008

The dunk everyone is talking about. You know, the Slam Dunk contest is relevant once again. It’s been in the doldrums for many years now. It’ll never recapture the heyday of the Jordan-Dominique dunk showdown in 1988, whereby you had two of THE premier NBA stars competing in the competition. (The present-day equivalent would probably [...]

The Weekend In Sports
Sunday, 17 February, 2008

Barnsley Stun Liverpool: Highly dramatic stuff. I actually caught the last few minutes of the game. It’s a bad time to be named Rafa. Pavlik Beats Taylor (again): Kelly Pavlik settles the argument.

Yahoo!
Tuesday, 12 February, 2008

Since Yahoo is in the news so much these days, and since its destiny might be materially altered in the next few weeks, let’s talk a bit about Yahoo. To be honest, I don’t use Yahoo much. The only reason I use Yahoo is because of email. And that’s because it was the first web-based [...]

Catching Up On My Thoughts
Monday, 11 February, 2008

So many things happened in the last one week while I was away on holiday. Just some quick thoughts… Microsoft Bids for Yahoo!: And then there were two. Microsoft makes its grand gesture. Huge news down in Silicon Valley. Google is starting to shift uncomfortably in its seat. Microhoo! anyone? The latest is that Yahoo! [...]
