Creative writing for Nigerians – 101

Oh great… yet another 419 e-mail! A mail from someone I don’t know, terrible grammar, bizarre introduction… but wait… what’s this? This isn’t like any scam mail I’ve see to date.  There’s tension, conflict… I was sucked in by the drama and emotion.  I took a sharp breath, wiped back a tear with the heel of my hand and read on…

Broccoli flashback

Tonight we were entertaining friends for dinner and someone mentioned it was time to chop the broccoli for dinner… and Paula started singing.  Our friends are 10 years younger than we are so… YouTube to the rescue!

Top Gear’s Hammond badly injured in jet-car crash | Reuters.co.uk

Rchard Hammond


Fans of the BBC show “Top Gear” will be concerned.  Everyone else will say “who’s that?”


I’m part of the first group.   


Hammond, the handsome, genial counter-point to Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear crashed while trying to break the UK land speed record for the TV show.  Teased for his lack of stature, white teeth and teen-girl magazine pin-up looks, Hammond is a key part of the show staff balancing out Clarkson’s searing tongue and May’s posh leanings.  I hope he fully recovers… not just because I’m human but because it could be the source of no end of hilarity on the show (plus, the other option sucks).



Top Gear’s Hammond badly injured in jet-car crash

Presence buttons are cool… why can’t messenger have these?

Way back in the day ICQ allowed people to put a little snippet of HTML anywhere they liked and it would show their presence.  That was very cool.  Yahoo can do it too. AOL offers itNow Skype is doing it too.  Why, for the sake of all that is geeky, can’t we (Microsoft) do this for messenger? 


Wait, I know, I’ll use a buzz-word: it’s viral! (it’ll happen for sure now).
