I just stumbled upon this 'note' and decided to share with you guys. It's a little bit 'old' yet somehow relevant to me...anyway...let me stop talking so you may keep reading....

An article by AznHun got me thinking about the early days of Google.

The Geek add is very catching and states the fact that 40c per hit will be paid for blogging in the “Digital” section where people could read and learn about all the wonderful new Technology that is in the marketplace. So, curious to see how much will be paid per hit for blogging in the “General” section where the human factor about “Life” in just as much different categories as digital gadgets gets to be posted. How sad and disappointing was the moment when I saw the next statement in the section “Get paid for blogging” at the top of Mydigitlalifes’s Home Page, and I quote:

I know many people would just love to sit at home while the money comes pouring in, I would love that too, but we are not part of the 1%...So we have to pursue other avenues to make a success of this thing we call work.

Every year i have a host of people that always wish me Ramadan Mubarak or happy Ramadan and then the questions start to pile up because people kind of know what it is, but dont really understand its purpose and why we do it.  My non muslim friends get all excited and i even have some fast with me, but they have no clue why it is happening, despite going through the hunger pangs and dehydration.

Not everyone’s taste but that’s me. I keep them under my favourites so it’s easy to find when I want to listen.

Oor dekades heen, hoor ek klokslag die vraag: “Het jy al in jou wyk gaan registreer om te stem?” Gladnie lus om ‘n relaas, langer as ‘n Harry Potter reeks te verskaf nie, bly my antwoord: “Nee, ek wil nie stem nie.” Onmiddelik word die belangrikheid van my een enkele kruisie van verandering vir Jan Regruk teen die 50 miljoen andersdenkende stemgeregtiges van Koos Leëbeloftes uitgewys. Die Aarde kan dalk uit sy wentebaan geruk word as ek en al die draadsitters wat soos ek dink, redeneer en net wegbly van die stembusse af, nie gaan stem nie.
