Reuters joins the bandwagon

Oh PLEASE!

Tourists in South Africa including soccer fans heading to the World Cup must guard against mosquito bites and avoid contact with raw meat due to an outbreak of Rift Valley fever, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.
Many tourists visit South Africa’s game parks and the WHO warned visitors to avoid contact with dead animals — another way of catching the disease.

Yes. Do avoid the dead animals which litter South Africa’s game parks. Indeed, last time I was in a game park, I couldn’t move for animal corpses. There are so many of them that they use them to make the roads and houses out of. Dead animals. Everywhere.
What Reuters and the WHO fail to mention is that death may also be caused by …. ( Read Full Post … )

Tickets for Newlands match anyone ?

I am busy as hell – and don’t have time to phone around to see who can make it.
I have two tickets to Newlands to watch the Stormers versus the Crusaders.
They are my season tickets and I will give them to you at the game – but I will need them back after !!

Put in a request in comments and we will take a random number – promise to be fair and just.

Quiksilver sign big star

Paul Le Roux – best known as the eccentric restauranteur, the chairman of the vikings and the Dad of the Year semi finalist in the Noordhoek area, is the newest star to try out the all in one hoodie suit from quiksilver – there is going to be a huge uproar about this when the airwaves pick this up.

A few weeks to winter proper and the cape is setting up for the swell of a lifetime – looking forward to seeing him out there, dropping in like there’s no one home !!

Happy surfing big guy !

surfing getting more and more popular – Muizenberg crowds on Sun

Muizenberg Surfers Corner is getting a little crowded on a Sunday morning !

I took the family down for a look, walk and bite, which we thoroughly enjoyed , but the water was rammed with people , all learning to surf

not a problem as surfing has a high drop off rate, but great for the family vibe at a place which has been struggling with a negative perception for a while.

Love it, now let's push more South Africans up the charts to chase the legacy that our best surfers have created ! Crowds tho, phew !

World Wide Creative get smart about Augmented Reality

Bob — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:51:26 +0000

What the hell is “Augmented Reality” anyway?

Imagine being able to view two versions of the world around you. In the first world, things are pretty much as you’ve always known them to be. The birds around you are tweeting; neon billboards are blinking aimlessly. Don your Augmented Reality glasses and an entirely different scenario takes place. Suddenly, the people around you are tweeting (Twitter messages are magically appearing above them in virtual bubbles); and neon billboards are blinking interactively (reach up and point to gain further information).

Sound far-fetched? Actually, this second world is not too far off. More than any other channel at the moment, Augmented Reality has the marketing world in a spin. In April’s Heavy Chef Session, we’re joined by internationally renowned speaker and entrepreneur, Rich Mulholland from Missing Link . On the eve of Wednesday 28th April, Rich will unpack the growing convergence between the real world and a digitally-enhanced world filled with opportunity.

Want to attend?

The Johannesburg Session is going to be held at Deloitte’s head office in Woodmead. If you’d like to join us, please email Yolandi (click here) or phone the studio at 0861 932226.

Date: Wednesday, 28 April 2010

All the best from Fred, Mike and the rest of the Chefs
