Listed

One of my publishers recently selected two books of mine, as part of a pilot project, to list on amazon.com. Now one of these books happens to be pseudonymous -- unlike the rest of my books. So don’t go googling “book by Thomas”, as you will not find it! (it is a theological book). I’ll tell you which of my books are not pseudonymous. I have four electronics books out there -- one of them now listed. They have been selling nicely, though they’re no bestsellers. OBSERVATION: The electronics book which has been listed (Electronics Scrapbook) is good value for money. In this case, I obtained special permission to re-publish a heap of my circuits, most of them published specifically for their innovation. If I were an electronics hobbyist, I'd want it!

Groote Kerk


This is the once-proud tower of the Groote Kerk (“Great Church”) of Cape Town, now hidden away in an urban nook. The Church was founded in 1665, thirteen years after the first settlers arrived. It has the largest pipe organ in South Africa: 5917 pipes, if one is to believe whoever counted them. I took the photo earlier this week.
