While browsing News24.com today, I came across this TED Talk (featured below). It was given three years ago by Alexander Tsiaras, a mathematician, who worked with Paul Lauterbur, the man who won the Nobel Prize for inventing the MRI. Tsiaras worked with NASA on new technologies they were developing.
One thing that he repeats throughout the talk is, "It's hard not to attribute this to divinity."
All I can say is that God is amazing!
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Psalm 139:14 KJV

The Cape of Storms lives up to its name
Cape of storms:
Cape Town is rarely hit so severely by storms.One can now understand why this region gave birth to the Flying Dutchman.

Art
I've been thinking and praying a lot about what medium I want to use to express myself artistically. I love photography, but somehow see a lot of unwilling subjects. I love animation and even more. Combining the two one gets stop motion animation.
I know it's a little late in life to start working on my animating and drawing skills. That's why I decided stick to drawing stick figures. They are relatively easy to draw and explore. To get me started I am working on an avatar on Inkscape. The avatar is based on The Order of the Stick comic strips by Richard Burlew, the guy who helped to create Dungeons and Dragons. I know, I know. What does an Adventist have to do with the work of an occultist, or someone who appears to be one? In this instance, it's a matter of taking the meat and leaving the bones.
My goal is to animate Bible stories and the parables of Jesus and any other stories I can find. I love creating. I love working with my hands. I love photographing things, playing with light, documenting events, etc. This is what stop motion animation allows me to do.
To put it simply, animation is something that I always seem to return to. I want to do many things. Explore many art forms through the eye of the lens. This is what stop motion animation allows me to do to a certain extent. I realise too that I can't do everything. I'm 27 years old and need to think about my future and stuff. But, I can't sit around dreaming about doing things but never actually doing them.
It's going take a lot of hard work on my part, but I'm willing to sacrifice. I just want to express my creativity artistically.
I got this from slideshare. I couldn't download it so I'm embedding it here.
