Well I am not sure that Indy Car racing is better than Formula 1, but one thing that is for sure this accident in the 2010 Indy 500, where Mike Conway has a Huge Airborne Crash into the Catchfence is fairly spectacular!

Zimbabwe Photography 2010
I have been away in Zimbabwe for a while:
I am very lucky in that every year I go home to Zimbabwe, I usually spend most of the time in the Zambezi valley and mostly on Lake Kariba, where apart from the excellent fishing, I can spend loads of time on my hobby: wildlife photography.
Kariba for me has it all:
Wonderful scenery including some of the best sunrises and sunsets you could ever hope to photograph.
Plenty of mammals and is especially good for elephant photography.
Birds - This is where Kariba really excels, there is a huge variety of mostly water birds, but if you go a little walk, many land species as well.
If you want to see a few of the photos I took on the trip, take a look at my photos of my Zimbabwe trip 2010

RuggaChick - Super14 Rugby Roundup
A babe that knows her rugby. Hell yeah!
In all honesty she's a bit ditzy, but we don't care.

Make Money on a Travel Blog
I was recently asked by a friend who is going travelling this summer, if they should set up a blog about it to make some money, that will pay for their extended holiday:
My Advice to her is below:
I think writing about your trip is a great idea and yes you can make money from it. I would however cation you if you think it will make you loads of cash quickly.
It is not that it can't, but I do it full time and it is a full time job. It also took me over a year of doing it before I got to the point where I was earning enough so that I could quit my day job and work on it full time.
If however you just want to earn some pocket money - You could easily set up a blog and then add some Google Adsense and Affiliate advertising onto it. This is not to say that in the future you could not earn a living from it, but this summer may be too soon to really make good money from a blog.

Build Free Websites
For SEO purposes, I am always on the lookout for "places" to add content on the web, get it ranked and then point it towards my main sites. If these "places" are free, so much the better.
There are a number of sites that offer you the chance to build and Create a free website, some of the better ones include:
Of these, wix is my least favourite as it builds the site in "flash" which looks nice, but is pretty rubbish in regards to getting high rankings on the search engines.
