Best of CFR?

Over the weekend I listened to a few old episodes of CFR (I know what you’re saying: who is she trying to kid? All CFR episodes are old) and started thinking about which ones might be my favourites. And so I figured I’d throw the question out to you: Which are your favourite episodes of [...]

Fishing Boy

This album is powered by BubbleShare – Add to my blog Today was one of those Sundays. Hot, deathly still, the rest of the country even more comatose than usual, recovering from last night’s Carnival revelry. It took even me, the non-sleeper, the better part of the day to rouse myself and drive out to [...]

Grey by night, with the soul of a dog

“. . . and their cat actually likes me,” my friend writes the day before yesterday from a B&B in Middle America. He also writes that the B&B’s owners “keep leaving little snacks for me all over the place,” though has never said where the trail of snacks leads, which leads me to suspect his [...]

The Global Voices Show #4

You people are right — I need to do more podcasts. Earlier this evening I uploaded the fourth edition of The Global Voices Show. The damn thing took me almost the entire weekend to produce.

After spending the past seven months on life support, Caribbean Free Photo is showing signs of life once more. . . .

This and that: Insomnia edition

Since returning from India my sleep patterns have begun to look a bit more like the average person’s. Yesterday evening, however, I took a dose of anti-histamines (explanation below) which knocked me flat by 8:30pm. Hence the reason I’m up again at 2am to receive the latest prod from Vernon. (I also received an e-mail [...]

Sobers’s record six sixes on YouTube

Posting this one for the benefit of the young ‘uns out there who may never have seen Sir Gary make his record-breaking six sixes in Cardiff, Wales in 1968. Hat tip to Skye and to the Guardian Unlimited sport blog, who features the clip today among their “favourite clips from YouTube this week“. Technorati Tags: [...]

2007? Already? Yikes

I was no more prepared for the start of this new year than this baby langur monkey — encountered on the road to Jaigarh Fort in Rajasthan back in December — was for me to take his/her photo (more India photos here – and more being added daily, so please keep checking in). Happy New [...]
