Three premier league players missed penalties? Well, it seems like the likes of Drogba and crew are not used to scoring when the ball is not moving and the angle to the target is not obvious.

As a mathematician, there was no way I could support Zambia because yenyewe the odds were stacked up against them. So, seeing as neither of the countries there were Kenya or Uganda, not all my heart was there but I must say, congratulations to the Zambian bullets. As for akina Drogba, who should have won this tournament, better luck next time, and for crying out loud – can you all learn how to take penalties! I am not the biggest fan of soccer but I do not like supporting the technically better and greater but losing side.

In other news, we won a ‘plate’ and beating Argentina in Las Vegas this weekend. Someone please advise me if this is a good thing or bad thing. I am truly not too sure between the cup, plate and shield, which we really should be wanting to hold. All in all, we won so, Congratulations Rugby Team!

NB: Just realized, shortest post so far….hmmm….

Whitney Houston is dead. How sad is that. Well, as Dr. Gregory House keeps on reminding us, for those who watch House…’everybody lies’  and if we twist that just a little bit, we get another truth, so to speak…’everybody dies’. So do rest in peace Whitney.

I will leave that there seeing as a quick Google search reveales 604 million results and several thousand news related articles on the topic so for more details on that, click here. Now back to some interesting news I was tracking on the twitter-verse concerning the takedown of the CIA site via DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service Attack). Many people are saying that if the CIA website can be attacked and taken down, then seriously, is there a site that can’t be brought down? And to that question, I answer – probably YES!  Bring me the guy(s) who take down Google, Yahoo, and Facebook (Twitter is not on that list because it normally does a good enough job of taking itself down from time to time) and I will literally kneel in front of them and kiss their feet! Why do I say this? Read on.

A few weeks ago, I ranted on Firefox and how even with 4GB of RAM, it was still able to bring my machine down with just a few tabs open. Memory leaks, as it is known in the geek world, for me and Firefox, and now a thing of the past! I can easily have more than 25 tabs open and have Firefox using less than 300MB of RAM. Heck, I can even pause right in the middle of my browsing, play a game of Need For Speed, The Run, and still have Firefox working like a charm when I get back to my desktop. How nice it is when the computer works like it should. Now I wish I could say the same about my bank whose logo is on this blog post. They have frustrated me but first, let me detail what went right with Firefox.

Now, we are all aware of the OMG busted call. If not, read on. Now, today, for all those who know Thika Road, by the time a tiff on Classic 105 Radio lasts from Muthaiga, through the hole in Pangani, past the traffic in Ngara and ends when you reach Odeon, and all this is happening during morning rush hour, then it was one hell of a tiff. They even brought the news a whole 6 minutes late…just replaying it (seeing as it was definitely not live – for those who may not know, those calls are recorded to make sure that there are fit for the airwaves). It explains whey they played 3 whole songs before replaying the argument, which is unheard of in morning radio.

So today, via Facebook, I land on a great Andriod app! PesaDroid! Well, all it does is give you a nice view of all your M-Pesa transactions, taking data form the messages on the phone. I have no doubt that the developers of the app worked quite hard on it and it is a wonderful app but my God, their website! Pesadroid.com is not a site to visit. It has put a new benchmark on just how crappy a site can be. I mean, these guys should have just stuck to giving people the android market link coz at least there, they can leverage the look of the marketplace. Their one page site is just something that should be taken off the net! Like immediately! Trust me, if I had seen their site before installing the app, I would not have installed it coz their site is just a joke!

Yeah, I can tell you for a fact that the Kenya twitter-verse, and blog-verse, and any other ‘verse’ that this country may have is all buzzing about the ICC and the cases that have been recently been confirmed on some powerful local politicians but frankly speaking, that news is not on my mind right now. MEGAUPLOAD HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN! This is just after a victorious ‘sites black out’ petition against SOPA and PIPA in the states. Clearly, I think the thing to take home from this is in as much as the initial battle for protecting a free internet may have been won, the war is nowhere near over!
