Buzz's Blog

Meet Buzz, our robotic blogging avatar. He’s plugged into so many circuits that the occasional voltage surge (his UPS is old and dodgy) creates disruptive feedback in his logic hardware, resulting in blogs that are eccentric at best, and mostly off the wall. We can live with that. The rest is up to you.

Make it 2 Bushmills Day 1

Better eyes for football referees

By now, anyone who has been following the World Cup would have heard about the erroneously disallowed England goal. It was clear to all the viewers that it was a goal. It was clear to the players and coaches on both sides. Unfortunately it wasn't all that clear to the referee and his assistants.

Time for shock tactics

Unless you have been asleep in the bathtub with the hairdryer on for the last two days, you will be aware of the outrageous new rise in our energy prices imposed on us by our government and the kind people of Eskom.

Off with their heads!

I have this recurring fantasy involving a stolen cellphone, a little blob of Semtex and a bit of clever software that results in the thief’s head being messily removed from his/her shoulders in a loud and extremely satisfying explosion. Analysts, sociologists and other caring people (bless them) would probably have a lot to say about this, but frankly, their opinion doesn’t matter a damn.

Confession time: It was me!

Many years ago, I managed to get detention for my whole Standard Six class after I scattered little specks of highly volatile explosive outside the staff room.

Robots unite?

Long ago, I did some very important work for a local Internet portal, performing the sort of duties that only a sentient robot like me can handle (you know, fiddling with things and messing with stuff). They were very keen to boost traffic, and came up with all sorts of interesting ways of doing it without violating any rules.
