In the picture below, I am on the left. Notice the use of a single oar. They were borrowed from the yellow rowing boat pictured at the bottom of the photo down below. I am with my cousin. I am in in my very own canoe. My dad bought it for me. Just wished he’d thought to get the proper dual canoeing paddle!! It made no difference to me. I enjoyed so many outings in the craft with a single oar, I don’t think a proper canoe paddle would have made much difference to my enjoyment.

Here is a picture of the main entrance to Oranjemund’s primary school. This was the first proper educational institution I and all the children born at Oranjemund went to after nursery school. I can still remember my first year there and how bad I was at math! I recall the names of the classmates who like me were in awe of going to ‘big’ school for the first time. We were like rabbits transfixed wide-eyed by the headlights of an approaching car. I loved school. And I was an absolute stickler for punctuality. Still am!

Here is a picture of one of Oranjemund’s lesser known secret locales. The Recreation Club was an essential communal facility to allow adults to meet friends for a quiet drink and maintain social circles in a suitably condusive environment. These were also the days of absolute chauvinism where men had their own bar from which women were prohibited to enter.

Last evening on arriving home, there was a letter from Land Rover on my mat. I did not open it immediately because I thought it was yet another survey about my new Freelander2. Since taking possession I have received 5 survey packs. Two from LR direct and three from an outsource survey company.

Here is a picture of Oranjemund’s shop. One of the focal points for the community. I just dig the two palms standing sentry at the entrance to the establishment. I recall these two trees as being taller, so this photo is very old.
Notice that there are a lot of blinds in use. I liked the archway effect of the Continue reading →

UPDATE 10th May 2007:
Early this morning I found a recording of a discussion in which Andrew Keen an author is interviewed. In his book, called The Cult of the Amateur, Andrew blames us bloggers for the armageddon befalling traditional media as Mr Bullard does and I wonder which of these two thought of it first?
Mr Keen did write a book about it. It is called The Cult of the Amateur. Continue reading →

Here is a picture of my father, padded up & taking tea in his century scoring innings at Oranjemund cricket ground. My mother is seated behind my uncle lending her support to dad’s best ever innings. He was facing an international bowler. Don’t know who it was but my dad clouted him around the park that day! This is the only picture Continue reading →

Still, copying does have its drawbacks…
Just nine months after a Business 2.0 cover story trumpets the wisdom of Raytheon CEO William Swanson and his folksy hit book, Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management, a San Diego engineer makes a shocking discovery: 17 of Swanson’s 33 rules are similar - and in some cases identical - to those in Continue reading →
