So, due to my brothers incredible car accident i have become motivated to start publishing photos of the most outrageous crashes that have happened to people that i know, or know of, or who’s brothers sisters second aunt twice removed knew at some point. So, send in those photos of your crashes, let me know if you were injured, if someone didnt make it. Let teach some people a lesson about speeding.
Im sure the Hamster (Top Gear) will be excited about this. so lets do it.
Email me photos and story to: nharalambous@gmail.com

Do Not Let This Happen! The Govt is trying to squash the show sayin that it is a bad influence on people and that it promotes recklessness. This is utter bullshit. people kill people, not guns, people kill people, not TV shows.
Follow This Link and Sign The Petition. As an avid petrol head and follower of the show i urge you to take two minutes and sign. My signiture was number 28,120. Get yours in there now.
My thoughts are with Richard Hammond and the rest of the Top Gear team.
Read Jeremy Clarkson’s statement.

Fuckin exchange rates and fucking Zuma and fuckin Shabir Shaik-my-ass, and fucking anything else that has fucked the economy the day before i am meant to travel.

This is a rock
It is a big rock. Those are skid marks on the road and at the bottom of the photo you can clearly see debris. The debris is from a car. A car that is very much now broken and has been for a few years. My brother had a car accident about 3 or 4 years ago. Blogging really wasnt around back then so I didnt have a forum to publish these photos. The story is one filled with “coincidence” (I dont believe in coincidence) and events that should never have happened, but did. These events saved his life. I wont explain the story cause I think that these photos speak louder than any Arrive Alive advert
Oh, the rock weighs approximately 5 tons.
This is what a 5 ton rock does to a BMW
And this:
I believe that these are a few very good reasons not to speed. For a couple of years dearest John insisted that he wasnt speeding. The proffesionals came in and calculated speeds of over 180Km/h.
Now make a choice. Speed. Or not speed. Its up to you.

Last.fm is an amazing initiative that i discovered through Mark Comerford’s blog MarkMedia.
Download the Lastfm software to your pc/laptop/mac, install and start “scrobbling”. Scrobbling is the term that Lastfm has coined to explain thier concept. when you scrobble, you play music from your media player (Itunes, WMP, Winamp etc etc etc) that is then picked up and stored in the LastFM server and made available for other users to view.
Now, you can join groups of users with similar interest, find stations that these users have compiled and listen to their choices. find music similar and new to the music you like. Its an incredible musical network!
You can also enter “Journal” entries about music and gigs, live shows and rants about instruments if you so feel, somewhat of a blogging feel to your user profile.
Have a look at my first journal entry here: Jump, Little Children - Journal - Last.fm

I am one of the happiest people in the world on this magnificent Sunday evening. I have come back from Captivate, as I have posted below. It was great but I have more fish to fry. I am off to London on Wednesday evening. I am going to see someone whom I love dearly and I miss. I am leaving my life (the internet) in Jozi .
I will not be taking my laptop, I will not be blogging, I will not be reachable on my cellphone or anywhere else for that matter. However I will be looking in to extending my Flickr badge on the right so that I can Moblog.
To those of you who know who I am talking about, I will deliver what you have asked. To those of you who dont know the lovely lady in question, She incredible.
I have two more days of blogging, my last post for two weeks will be on wednesday.

I was scheduled to leave the Port Elizabeth airport at about 17:10…We left at about18:30. Awesome. Its amazing, the plane actually got off the ground, thats not the amazing part. The amazing part is that every infant in the ENTIRE fucking country was on the same plane as mine. Not only did they delay our plane (I am guessing the babies had prior arrangements to uphold) but they sat next to me, on top of me, behind and in front of me.
I thought that planes of that size mostly carried like a couple hundred people, max. I WAS WRONG, there were about 2 gazillion babies on this plane and they all sat by me. No i digress, they did not sit, the cooed, and coochied and wailed and cried and yelled and messed and Holy Mother of anything good and gracious on this Earth. I wanted to actually kick the window in (I managed a window seat) and jump right out of that plane. But then i thought that i would be destroying the potentially fantastical lives that these infants might one day have. If they stopped yelling.
Speaking of the window seat; the joy of the window seat is that you get to lean your head on the window, or thereabouts and have a lekker little kip in the corner…Not so much. No sleep, baby, no cleanliness, baby, no nothing, baby. I am also one of those people who likes to exit the airplane while it is still moving. I do not like to hang around on planes for longer than need be, but i was trapped like a drowning rat smelling the end,..and it was baby poop.
But hey, I got off the plane, i got outside and i got home. Happy and snug in Jozi again.

I have official completed my return to the Gspot!!
My presentation went well on my website, and a hell of a lot great input was recieved. Criticism is always great especially when its constructive!
Please go and have a look at the Captivate Blog for more opinions and views on the conference and the state of student media in South Africa.
Thank you to the entire Captivate team, you did a sterling job and should be very proud of yourselves!
It is the weekend of the Captivate Student Media Conference. I am back in gtown and had a typical first year back in the swing of things.
Grant Harris from Studentvillage opened the conference. He was hung over, but he did an extremely good job explaining what SV is and what they do. Nice form from the man with cash to get the girls to get moving!!!
Due to some technical difficulties I have been unable to blog about the conference thus far. Thanks to some aid from Carly I have stolen her laptop and begun the massive blog-off that is Captivate.
I will be blogging on the Captivate Blog as well as Shutterview and Studentwire. So keep an eye out and enjoy the conference.
Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame has had a major accident while driving a dragster around a track. Hammond is one of the funniest little dudes on TV and a guy that i personally enjoy watching and having a laugh to (albeit all on my own, but a laugh nonetheless).
The TV star was apparently travelling at about 480KM’s and hour when his dragster overturned. He was attempting a British land speed record.

The Rhodes University TV 4 students have produced amazing documentaries.
Jason Von Berg sent me his documentary which you can have a look at here. I am very proud to say that He has worked hard on this project and is very happy with the result, as I am sure most (hopefully all) of the TV 4 students are!
Good work to everyone and we’ll have a MASSIVE party this weekend!

Original NetBaby as animated GIF
This little dude made me laugh till i hit the floor when i first saw the animation on Ally MacBeal some time ago. On that point, those of you that watch Grey’s Anatomy, I think that the lead actress, Ms Grey, kinda looks like the Ally Macbeal Character. Figity, nervous, lost sort of feel about the characteristics!
Anyways, just have a laugh at this. Oh, I found it under the list of the 25 WORST WEBSITES.
I found that site courtesy of Gregoogle - keep those posts coming my man!!

The hand of a fetus reaches out of its mothers’ womb to grab hold of the surgeon operating. Incredible.
This photo is circulating on email at the moment. It is entitled “Hand of Hope”. Some say it might be the photo of the decade. I say, look and be in awe.
