Once upon a time, Ster-Kinekor – the largest cinema exhibitor in South Africa – redesigned their website.

A couple of local bloggers have commented on Ster-Kinekor’s new website which launched earlier this month – Loading Ster-Kinekor… by Gideon, New Ster Kinekor website by Craig and Ster Kinekor blows fresh horse manure by Jeremy.

SABC World News observation
SABC World News – SABC 3, after 12am. A question/observation/rant:
Who the hell is that female newsreader responsible for the voiceovers on just about all of their stories?
If you’ve ever had the displeasure of turning on your TV at that hour and hearing her voice break on every word then you’ll know what I’m talking about. I don’t know how else … view full post
The title is not a design element
Whoever you are that support the trend to add “::” to the title of a web page, please stop it. It’s not clever or original, it doesn’t look good, and it certainly won’t help your SEO.

State of South African political websites
With the 2006 Municipal Elections coming up soon (Election Day is March 1st), I found myself visiting a number of election-related and individual political party websites, firstly to find out if I still have time to register (oops, missed it by a day!), and then just out of interest.

Windows Live
The difference between Google and Microsoft as I see it, apart from both trying to dominate the world, is when Google release a Beta product, it does actually work.
I visited Windows Live (live.com) today, via /..

(…also a brilliant song)
In September last year I had much praise for Flickr.

K750i digital zoom false claims
I’ve been considering the Sony Ericsson K750i to replace my current T310 (which has become slower and buggier with age). My choice is for 3 simple reasons: it’s compact, feature-rich, and is sexier than Clifton on a good day.
