Tri-Nations time!

via stuff.co.nz

I am so stoked with all the rugby lined up over the next couple of months. There's no better way to spend your Saturdays during the summer in Dubai than watching Tri-Nations rugby with a homemade big breakfast (bacon, eggs, hash browns, tomatoes and mushrooms - my girlfriend is the best!) especially if you're nursing a hangover.

Australia and South Africa are both on form and looking rather dangerous this year. The All Blacks will have to step it up a level if they want to defend their Tri-Nations title this year. I reckon we're up for it. A few key big-game players back in the forwards, a backline looking to prove the critics wrong, and Henry and co. out to prove their worth- Sorted!

First up is Australia this Saturday at Eden Park in Auckland, NZ. Bring it on Aussie!

By the way, if you're interested you can find a full list of the fixtures here.

TURN THAT TV OFF!

If you are sitting at home one lazy night watching some useless piece of television because nothing better is on, then turn the TV off, turn your computer on and go to TED.com.  TED.com: Ideas worth spreading is bascially a conference-turned-global community of people wanting to learn more about the world we live in.  The website shares thousands of videos featuring talks/performances from some of the world's greatest thinkers and teachers.  The videos can be persuasive, they can be courageous, they can be ingenious, fascinating, inspiring, beautiful, funny, informative...
Whatever they are, they are about spreading ideas- about discovering and inspiring.  So hurry up- get discovering and get inspired!

Here are three videos I found on my first visit to the site today:

Here's a thought-provoking musical take on racial stereotypes from Stew called "Black Men Ski".

Here's a really interesting and funny talk called "10 Things You Didn't Know About Orgasms" from Mary Roach.

Here's an inspiring song from South African Vusi Mahlasela singing "Thula Mama" dedicated to all women, especially his grandmother.
