OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.

Proud!
I think that’s the most prominent words (other than the the obvious South Africa, Bafana and Brazil) on this Wordle I created after analysing the 350+ comments on the Boston Big Picture gallery for the South African Worldcup 2010.
Go and look at the gallery - the photos are stunning!
I think I would wholeheartedly agree. Proud is how we “seffricans” should feel.

OK, Joburg, calm down with those flags!
It’s all very patriotic but you actually need some space between them so that can flutter!

Realtime Energy Consumption Monitoring for World Cup 2010 Draw in Cape Town

This is a great initiative! Go to http://www.measure2manage.co.za and watch the realtime stats of how much energy is consumed during the draw process.

From their website:

“Eskom has partnered with the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) and embarked on an energy saving initiative, ‘Measure 2 Manage’, which will measure energy consumption in real-time from 30 November to 7 December, 2009, monitoring the pre-draw and final-draw activities taking place at the CTICC.”
