The other day I was driving past the 2010 stadium being built in Green Point and I was amazed by how far it seems to have come. I still worry that they aren’t going to be ready in time, but it does look pretty impressive.

Here is a site that posts photos of the progress as it moves along. The ones below are from 21 April 2008. Long way to go….

If things have been a little slow on this blog lately it’s because I have been working on something new. It’s a site called Do Stuff in Cape Town and I have described it as an encyclopedia of activities in and around Cape Town.

The cool thing about it is that it works like a Wiki so anyone can contribute to it. I have developed it so that anyone visiting the site can easily:

• Create new activities - there is a simple form for adding new activities
• Update existing activities - say there is some detail or tip that you would like to add to an existing activity
• Rate activities - it’s as simple as clicking on the star rating you want
• Browse/search activities - I have put quite a lot of thought into making this as simple as possible
• Subscribe to new activities - Get updates when new activities are added to the site

I have tried to make everything as simple as possible, but please give it a try and let me know what you think. Add an activity, or browse through those that are already there. I think that the site is almost ready, but I would really appreciate feedback!

Some of the activities that have already been loaded:

• World of Birds
• Table Mountain Cable Car
• Devils Peak
• Independent Armchair Theatre
• Rhodes Memorial
• Ricks Cafe Americain

Jules and I went for a quick walk on the Pipe Track last night to have a little wine and watch the sun go down on a fun weekend.

We got a couple of nice photos too. This is Table Mountain viewed from the side - the Pipe Track passes above the Camps Bay area so you get interesting angles on Table Mountain.
