    The past few months have been both tragic and interesting as the global financial crisis unfolds. I’ve read countless articles on the topic, contemplated countless predictions and been shocked by the magnitude of the casualties. I don’t think anyone realised what the global effect of this crisis would be, and we still have a long way…

    The internet has changed and developed over time. One of the ways it has changed is that is has become much more interactive. Instead of just using the internet to get the information we want, we can make a contribution ourselves. When everybody gives their input and feedback, it creates a much more beneficial system for all.…

    Relax with Dax is not just about restaurants, but also about what’s happening in Cape Town. In my newsletter I list events for the coming month which I think are worthwhile. Up until now, a visitor to the website who wanted to see what events are coming up, would have to navigate to the latest…

    I’ve been spending quite a lot of time lately on the Relax with Dax website, trying to make it more like I want it to be. My efforts are perpetually hampered by a lack of free time and a lack of skill. However, I continue to do what I am capable of doing and as…

    A connection of mine is making a documentary about surviving Joburg. Judging by the trailer it looks like fun.   Unhinged: Surviving Joburg – Promo from Loveland Plant Hire on Vimeo

    I read a book called ‘Why food is better medicine than drugs‘ by Patrick Holford. I found the information in the book very interesting and enlightening. I have always doubted the pharmaceutical and supplement industries and this book showed me that my doubts were well founded. The book shows how some drugs achieve similar results…

    I recently acquired a laptop, so now I’m more interested in free wireless internet (sometimes just called WiFi) than I used to be. There are some places that offer internet but you have to pay for it (credit card) eg. Mugg & Bean (you can get a list of 125 of these ‘hotspots’ here). But…

    I’m busy working on the website, which includes trying out some new themes. So please excuse the mess for a few days. Hopefully the new site will be worth the inconvenience. Thanks Dax UPDATE: Ok, I’ve made some progress and the website is starting to look they way it should. I would appreciate feedback at…

    This is my 3rd and hopefully my last rant. Crime is definitely getting worse, the only reason statistics might indicate that crime has improved is that people don’t bother reporting crimes anymore because the police don’t do anything about it. The sad thing is that most crime happens in the townships. The people who can’t afford security…
