Life's a beech

And if you're Saatchi & Saatchi Cape Town the car park's also a beach. Team building Cape Town style..



Name in Lights

Yours truly got in a magazine recently. I’d say it was the GQ Man of the Year issue but that would be a lie. More accurately it was the new media /marketing industry rag Revolution and I got quoted on online publishing and the challenges face by doing redesigns. Wooooooo.

Ipod Death

As if it knew that I’d just replaced it by bagging a new iPod Nano from Apple Refurb my little iPod mini sung it’s last song tonight and started the infamous had drive click of death that signals the end of the road for an iPod..

And here's the results of taking it apart to try and resurrect it..



But here's the new one woo hoo..



And here's a hacked Nike Plus armband turned into a neat little slip cover complete with screen printed controls..Nice.

Boat Trip

Tamar.com organised a Catamaran Trip for Friday afternoon, on which I managed to catch an invite. All that can really be said was that it was absolutely excellent. Spending the afternoon sailing/motoring off the coast of South Africa, seeing dolphins, whales, drinking cool beer and taking the obligatory dive off the side can’t really be beaten.















The only downside which was completely self induced was that I somehow got the theme tune from Howards Way stuck in my head..

For those of you who'd like to walk a mile in my shoes here's the pain I was in: howards-way.mp3

So I know South Africa won the world cup..

..but this is taking it a bit far.

This lady was presenting the news on SABC2, on Tuesday..

It's like putting Hugh Edwards in an England shirt...
