For this wallpaper design I found an iconic photo of a US soldier holding the body of a fatally wounded baby. I find this photo extremely powerful, it sums up the monstrosity of war in a single fraction of a second.

Something’s lurking just beneath the water. It’s grown, it’s matured, and it’s about to get snappy. That something is Afrigator Beta.

That’s right folks, I’ve been very busy along with Justin, Stii and Mike planning for the next phase of the Afrigator project. I’ve spent numerous days submerged in Photoshop pixel pushing. I’ve agonised over placement of new kick ass functionality in a new slick interface and I’m really excited about what lies ahead.

Rush on over to Afrigator and sign up to be a part of the Afrigator Beta testing. You’ll be a part of something very special.

• When Schalk Burger goes swimming he doesn’t get wet, the water gets Schalk Burgered.
• When the Tokoloshe goes to sleep every night, he checks under his bed for Schalk Burger.
• Schalk Burger counted to infinity – twice.
• Schalk Burger invented every colour. Except pink. Percy Montgomery invented pink.

Just to make something clear: I don’t grow weed, I don’t sell weed, I don’t want to buy a hydro system, and I know it is illegal in most countries.

Why am I telling you this? Well it seems that the articles I posted in April of last year about a mysterious weed bush that popped up in my mother’s back garden, that then subsequently got eaten by our dog, is doing quite well with Google. In fact if you type “Weed bush” into Google I come up second in the search results. Second!

If you type in “Mother’s weed” I come up first in the Google search results! I’m sure my mother is very proud of me for making sure she can be found on Google. Similarly if you search Google for “My mother is growing weed” I come up first too.

By writing this post I am probably further promoting it’s ranking, so it is probably not the best idea. I just find it too hilarious though. Almost as hilarious as some of the comments posted by stoned weirdos.

P.S. Can anyone help one of my readers, Rob. I’m sure he’d appreciate a professional opinion:
