An open letter to Stephen Grootes
Dear Stephen Grootes I must insist that you stop writing for The Daily Maverick. Now. Put away your pen, shut down your laptop, throw away your dictionary and lead a life of verbal abstemity.

Something always sings
(This is a speech I gave at the recent opening of the Atheneum in PE – if you find yourself in the area, go take a look it is genuinely inspiring. And if you’re not in the area, get into the area and then do the same….) Thank you first of all for inviting me [...]

I need to get out more…
Love Angry Birds. And am rather good at it. As you can see from the pic….yes, my friends. Ranked #2 out of 567 228 players (kingstonza is my angry-name. Don’t ask.) I’m that good. Right….now, where did I leave my life?

Top 5 things at Fest this year
Before Festival started I was asked to write a piece highlighting the Top 5 unmissable things this year. It was going to be used in some publication or other, but never was. Rather than letting it slip off into nowhere, I’ll post it here. Festival is, however, over, so you can’t do these things any [...]

Is Manyi being dishonest, or practical?
In the great Jimmy Manyi vs the Media debate, I find myself conflicted. On the one hand, like most sensible people, I want to be outraged by what seems to be a clumsy and crude approach to media control: write nice things and we will advertise; if you’re nasty, we won’t. And it’s no small [...]
Don’t put our future in Assange’s hands
I’ll confess to being in two minds about WikiLeaks’ latest dumping of classified and secret cables. (if you’ve been hiding under a rock, or in Iraq, you might not know that the site, run by Julien Assange, has placed over 200 000 pieces of communication between American embassies online. These aren’t emails ordering sushi for [...]

Bookmarks….or not
I love awards ceremonies. The excitement. The red carpet. The drunken louts. The celebration. The whiff of failure. Living in Grahamstown we don’t get too many of those, although I did hand out the prizes at the “Amazing Chase” treasure hunt a few weeks back. Well done to the winner of the movie tickets, and [...]

Annoying Orange. No, seriously.
OK, I’m not entirely sure how this completely passed me by, but it did. And it took my 9 year old son to point it out to me. Annoying Orange. More than just a fruit….a really, really annoying fruit. And hilarious too. His video is clocking millions of views on YouTube. (*insert Clockwork Orange joke [...]
Julius’ blog site at risk of deletion
While he’s getting all frothy about the fact that he is being impersonated on Twitter, ANC Youth League President Julius Malema might be ignoring an even more catastrophic scenario on the horison. He runs a blog at www.juliusmalema.co.za – not a bad looking one, actually. Short on words, big pic (and who said the internet [...]
