Geekdinner 2.0 (I know I know, it’s so difficult to resist) is reloaded & ready to go >> I’m not organising this one, it’s in the logistically-gifted hands of Joe Botha of Frogfoot this time. And it’s looking pretty swanky, all kitted out at Barbarella’s in the heart of sophisticado style in Constantia.
I’ll be up front & centre at some stage getting geekdiners to wrap their heads around “What Makes Geeks Hot” – em, hot property that is – & what we need to do to support & …

If you woke up, without responsibilities, anyone/anything else to support (remember this is just hypothetical of course), no heavy mortgages, company to run, job to go to. You had resources and time and the refresh button had just been pressed – you somehow stepped elegantly into another parallel life where you’d made different choices. You are completely free to invest your time & energy where you please:
Would you still choose to do what you’re doing today?
.. just out of curiosity. Hunters of genius are curious by nature..

.. just in case you needed convincing :-P to get your ass to one of our dinners
PS. if you’re a new kid on the blog, no matter where you find yourself on the planet, brace yourself, once you fire it up, whether personal or business .. blogs change lives unquestionably (and I believe will shift the global economy in ways unimagined too – watch the fractal pattern throughout history: culture precedes commerce). Get connected to others exploring the edge >> in your neighbourhood

..how I did it, I’m not sure (on my pretty but decidedly malnourished site, starved of attention & daily feeds) but the Hunter of Genius made it through to the final of the SA Blog Awards?!
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the legendary ZAblogging iconTertia, the muscular supercharged Stopforth blog, the clearly well-fed ElectricSpaghetti and Peas on Toast, the one all the girls will be voting for: KykNoord, butt-ugly but potent 2OceansVibe that swept it all up last year again, the wildy popular Muso, TrashMedia that comes preloaded with …

If you ARE SouthAfrican, been to South Africa, or happen to have given up your otherwise civilised life to make this wild country your home (or even.. ag, shaaame a South African far away from home). Can you quantify what the hell it is about this place that makes it get under your skin? It’s rough & rowdy, beautiful and dangerous.. I think it may be the energy that throbs here that keeps me here. It’s not safe to stay but OMG it’s ALIVE! & addictive.

…thanks to NicHarry for a new fun space to play in and celebrate why we who are crazy & brave enough to live in South Africa love it here ;-) on SA Rocks!
[Clever fellow! I feel all special, produce content & tell my mates etc.etc. virtuous cycle – SARocks is one of many blogs I’ve been asked to contribute to, but since I haven’t got my GTD down to perfection yet I’m only taking on one other blog.. which I’ll tell you about tomorrow. There seems to be a …

V’day indeed! If I must surrender to silliness of Valentine’s day: then my untimebound valentine – verily the very essence of victory :-P the seriously ravishable Churchill (I know I’ve gone on about him before but) he truly embodied genius:

creatively (he could rival Edison in prolific applied innovation & outperform any in creative strategy – to win a megalithic war you gotta have some deep skills.. and of course he painted and wrote – damn well)
in unparalleled courage with which he impassioned a nation,
in clarity of vision &
communicating it in …

<< this is when we’ll be rockin’Relish – don’t cry to us if you don’t get yourself on the list in time: 80 is the limit ..and it’s almost there!

The guest list is jamming with genius & not just with the technocracy of the geekdinner >> so don’t be scared if you’re a techbum ‘cos 27 is a gathering at the edge of the future of innovative business in South Africa.
Come cerebrate some of the reasons why SArocks!
oooh PS. Verity will be rocking the house :-D

I came, I saw, I drank
(okay.. last of the geekdinner posts I promise).
Guess this one should have a geek alert: my boet was laughing at me once again for being pathetically nerdy but I found it amusing (sitting for hours squished in a car roadtripping – if you’re a slighty hyperactive human – can make anything funny*) hence my take on Julius Caesar’s Veni Vidi Vici after a heavy night of Stormhoek through a hungoverhaze**. I discovered that the linux forums had a whole list of them >> …

Stiaan is a legend, undoubtedly. Adore & respect his work, humour & good oke-ness more each time we connect. [He's trying to coax Belinda, his bubbly wife to blog & sat me next to her to begin the sale - I think she may've convinced me instead about keeping it real & moving to a small town instead (thankfully that spell didn't last long).. I think he may need to introduce her to the fast & funny mommyblogger titan Tertia, to close the deal.] thanks for organising this Stii!
My best …
