In 1870 we went down the Tigris River. We hired a guide at Bagdad to show us Persepolis, Nineveh and Babylon, and the ancient countries of Assyria as far as the Arabian Gulf. He was well acquainted with the land, but he was one of those guides who love to entertain their patrons; he was like a barber that tells you many stories in order to keep your mind off the scratching and the scraping. He told me so many stories that I grew tired of his telling them and I refused to listen — looked away whenever he commenced; that made the guide quite angry. Continue reading

Ok, people… Its here, my new Ipad. I have had it now for a week, so sorry for the delay on the review. Ok, what can I say. WOW, WOW, WOW…… Wait…. More Wow’s coming soon.

Now this is a device that I can relate to. Thanks to Andre & Eben at Apple Stuff they have managed to get us some of the first Ipads in the country. And let me tell you Apple Stuff provides great service!

Back to the device…. I am going to be honest. This is not a toy. The first time I held the device I was scared I am going to drop it. The device is really sleek and has a strong feel to it. Its also carries a bit of weight to it.

The unit we bought is the 64gb Wifi, we didnt opt for the 3G device as this was not needed due to our lovely MiFi device.

The Mifi is a wireless 3G hotspot and gives you the freedom to make skype calls, something that the iphone lacks on its 3G due to the telecoms agreements. The Mifi gives you a wireless hub option and can connect 5 devices to the internet or data storage… All this cramped up in this small device. This makes the Ipad more fun.

Ipad Pro’s;

I downloaded some really cool apps from the Itunes store and cant leave this baby alone. My designers are currently designing a portfolio where I can showcase our design work to clients. Browsing websites is awesome and the everyday computer stuff is do-able. The graphics on this HD screen is AWESOME… Having watched the new lady gaga music video in HD, not that I am so fond of her music, it was really good.

The Angry birds and X-plane simulator is really fun and very much realistic.

The No no”s;

Well, what can I say, the only downside is the SA app store, but we have that covered through Apple Stuff’s US App store vouchers.

Oh, and the other downside is that you don’t have one .

Be sure to get yourself one of these babies and sure to read more about it as we explore its boundaries….

I read The Shack out of pure curiosity. The feedback I heard from a widely dived crowd made me wanting to see what the fuss is all about. Good and bad. Ok, for those who dont know me… I read slower than the 1908 snail Olympics and being hyperactive, concentration is a must with a book like this. Continue reading

What a book! This audio book was given to me by a friend. Like always, the long trips to Johannesburg gives you all the time in the world to listen to a good book… This book was really an eye opener. Continue reading
