I’m a BIG Audi fan, and I came across this nifty little desktop widget today on their SA website. As I have three LCD PC screens, I use the least populated one for my widgets, and haven’t come across one this useful just yet.

This brilliant little widget:

• Tells me 3 days’ weather
• Gives the time in 3 countries
• Provides the exchange rate for 3 currencies
• Displays a local traffic report
• Shows Audi News

Note: I had to reboot before everything worked right (weather & traffic).

I don’t have any problem admitting that I’m a big Volvo fan, and my favourite one just got an awesome dose of steroids. Read more here >>

Man, how do I get (ok, afford) one of these?!

I have to admit, I was VERY excited a while back when Tata announced the development of the Tata Nano. A cheap little car – and this after I’ve honestly considered acquiring a Vespa (Moped/Scooter) to get around… a thought short lived as I can’t imagine my 6′3″, 120kg body on even their biggest offerings.

After reading this article however, there’s more to consider (positive and negative) than just the price of this little car. If it’s ever available in my country (South Africa), I’ll look at it in a different light – this little car might change the world… for better or for worse…
