Cape Town Physicist: July 2009
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 July 2009. As I may have mentioned, Kristen and I just got engaged to be married. Thing models Alex's ring. Well, in the meantime, we searched around for a real diamond. After a few stops, we quickly decided on this jeweler in Cape Town. Careful, or the sparkles will put out your eyes. Monday, 13 July 2009. A nerderific blast from the past. When I was a kid, I absolutely LOVED these books called t he Lone-Wolf series. E style books with the added benefit of hit-points. Wednesday, 1 July 2009.

http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2009/07/transkei-travels.html
Wednesday, 1 July 2009. So, in addition to proposing amongst the elephants. The main thrust of our adventure out to the Transkei was to visit our friends, Alex and Andy of Live Free or Braai Hard. In Mount Frere, who are volunteering for Hlomelikusasa (a community-based organization focused on helping orphans around Mount Frere) and ASAP. African Solutions for African Problems - a meta-organization which helps teach community programs to become self-sufficient). Classiest joint in town. Happy to have you!

Cape Town Physicist: A nerderific blast from the past
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2009/07/nerderific-blast-from-past.html
Monday, 13 July 2009. A nerderific blast from the past. Now I know I risk outing myself as having been a dork as a child (wipe that look of shock from your face), I recently ran across a website that sent me into paroxysms of memorial nerd-dom. When I was a kid, I absolutely LOVED these books called t he Lone-Wolf series. E style books with the added benefit of hit-points. Version of dice-rolling) - you closed your eyes and pointed your pencil at a grid of numbers. And there are shitloads of the books!

Cape Town Physicist: April 2008
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 April 2008. This week has the most public holidays I've ever seen. Today (Monday) is "Freedom Day" to celebrate the end of apartheid. Then Thursday, May 1st, is Labour Day, which is apparently such an important holiday here that Friday is a continuation, another public holiday. Kinda weird, but who am I to complain? Don't worry, though, Jeff - I'm working from home! But speaking of Freedom Day (and not to beat a dead horse, but.) here's an article. Sunday, 27 April 2008. It’s because of ...

Cape Town Physicist: May 2008
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 May 2008. Strangers in a Strange Land. As many have no doubt become aware, there is a new crisis in South Africa which begun about two weeks ago. Seemingly (to me) out of nowhere, poor South Africans in Alexandra (a town near Joburg) started brutally attacking "foreigners" living there. The violence (which involved some truly inhuman attacks. Quickly spread to townships in Johannesburg, to Durban, and most recently even to Cape Town. And speaking of Zimbabweans, many people are blaming much o...

http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 July 2008. Photos from New York. As stated previously, I am finally putting up pictures from my trip. Here are some snapshots from New York City. Me with Kristen ad her mom. Aren't they adorable? Me with Kristen's dad and grandpa. They were the sweetest hardcore Bronx-y dudes I ever met. This is the movie under the Brooklyn Bridge. What a gorgeous scene! Me and my mom at Coney Island. Coney is the bomb! Picnic in the park. Don't forget the wine! South Africa's most dangerous threat. The safest...

Cape Town Physicist: January 2009
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 2 January 2009. Well, it's been a long time since I've updated this blog, but. I thought I'd start it off again on the New Year. And there's. Definitely plenty of great stuff that I've been doing over the past few. Weeks to blog about, so hopefully I'll be able to build up some. Momentum and talk about what's going on here. My family (Mom and Dad and Brother Scott) came to visit over the past. Two weeks for the holidays. We really had a fantastic time,. Hussar's Grill (get the Warthog Ribs).

Cape Town Physicist: Wales is NOT in England...
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2009/03/wales-is-not-in-england.html
Friday, 20 March 2009. Wales is NOT in England. I learned at least one thing while I was in the UK. When Kristen and I got off the train from London to Swansea (Wales), we took a taxi to the B&B, and had quite a character for a cab driver. His first words to us were, "So where in Canada you from? Of course, we politely informed him that we were American, though we could understand wanting to be careful (ever tried calling a Canadian "American"? To his webpage, where he has a pdf giving an explanation and...

Cape Town Physicist: June 2008
http://capetownphysicist.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 22 June 2008. On the torture of Zimbabweans was really telling, I thought. Quite graphic, but it really makes it clear that the run-off election coming up is a COMPLETE farce. Of course, this really isn't any different from Mugabe's historical inhumanities, but one could have hoped that this one would be different. Saturday, 14 June 2008. Greg `How'd he do that? You know how some people somehow seem to meet absolutely everyone, without even trying? Well, you've never met Greg Forbes Siegman.
