Me? I just freaked out some neurons, fritzed some nerve-ends, buggered up a valve, connected the word curioity to the dots and breadcrumbs laid down by others followed the trail, had some excitement on the way, picked up clues and hints for offtrail excursions, then on my wanderings in blogosphere, I bumped into a beautiful lady called Max.

What Max is doing here is wonderful. It’s remarkable and worthy of continued expansion. It is outrageous too. And we need to encourage talented people to be outrageous, remarkable and wonderful lest they stall, stumble and slip into mediocrity.

Max, please keep building this site. Add to it bit by glorious bit until is becomes a haven for those who want to join an adventure with a truly free spirit. You.

DAIMON - Higher Self -GENIUS
‘The potential and truth of every mortal expressed as a Spirit Double’

Genius (Genii) - the Roman concept of the inborn power of individuals, localities and corporations (societies, colleges, cities). The Genius kept the charge of the person or thing alive. The personal Genius is an internal force generating optimism. Oaths were sworn of the Genius of Self or others.

‘Indulgere genio’ (surrendering to one’s Genius) applied to every act of yielding to personal taste - and in particular over-indulgence

The interpretation of this card:

-Listen to inner promptings as opposed to external limiting factors. Indulge what you WANT to do as opposed to following obligations.

Well, how about that for timeously interesting? I have great faith in the unfolding, keep up the good work. Lader dada, naulene ;)

Wow, thanks ? added you too! (not out of reciprocity ? I just happen to dig the content of your blog)
Most certainly will ? Methinks it?ll only be next Feb (for the Design Indaba)
You have an email addy?

Useful interpretations and information aggregation from the wonderful Freakonomics duo: original article and their commentary. Check out the bar of links on the left hand side of the page for some fascinating academic papers on the subject. I personally found that the most pertinent of them was the "The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance" whose conclusions are particularly intimidating.

Give a holler if you’re heading to Cape Town & meet some of the beings who embody these qualities!

… BUT the mate who’s throwing the party has a kicker site - lovecapetown.com (ex Microsofter who regained sanity & come back to SA). I’ll give you G’towners the heads up on legendary events going down as summer warms C’Town into action :)
