As we now enjoy the advent of Twitter to addictive levels I thought it appropriate to recall this post from 2007 to compliment the Trackside Communications piece below.
Don’t take this to heart! It is a cynical tongue in cheek nudge and a wink about the faddishness of our celebs and bloggers!
You know then that when your present life gets you down, you can always blindly follow the celebs and change to Life 3.0
Do you want to know if you fit into a small minority comprised of people of all races, cultures and persuasions on this planet who are regarded as abnormal?
Does what I asked cause you just a little concern?
Where have all the Geek Dinners gone? Wazzzuup?! My social life is in turmoil. I’m a redundant in social blogging terms! No socialising opportunities, no free vino and worst of all - no Flikr opportunities…Eeeeek!
Heh! I decided to enrich the blank cardboard sign with meaningful and apt social content and in so doing ooze my concience and also conform to Web 3.0 or am I out of sync now that I don’t get my social fix anymore.
Tongue in cheek or what? But then the morbid dross humour goes with the climate of uncertainty and the foul weather.
And the quality production from Zoopy keeps coming! Zoopy has released the 3rd video in the Zoopy series of Stormhoek Stories. Now we get into more detail. Still very interesting to watch.
I wandered over to John Dodds’s blog Make Marketing History for my usual fix of good writing and read this. Then I clicked on a link within John’s post and found myself face to face with genius.
I simply love it when I find talent that really makes me appreciate how much I suck! Go to http://xkcd.com and see what real true talent is and see it in all its great voluminous, plentiful, every pixel-filled vast abundance.
I hate xkcd! Hate it, hate it hate it! Damn it is so good. Brilliant. If I could weep at this instant, I would but there is no command in my Dell for humility!
The guys from Zoopy spent a day at Stormhoek filming. Wonderful stuff to see. And even Graham is loved by the camera. Grumpy old men and their dogs …..and wine bottles on the stoep…donder that looks so cool! Watch the video.
I do not like nor support the Labour party nor the trotskyite currently occupying 10 Downing St.
I have seen more charisma in roadkill than there is in Brown. His smile is a painful experience to see.
He really does ‘morose’ so well he should stick with it. The humourless age of the Stalinist days at The Kremlin would have been his ideal environment. No smiles. Just total glum and dour monotony.
No joke. Really. Too many people on this planet think they are not worthy of your and my appreciation
Too many people on this planet think they do not meet someone else’s expectations when in fact they do. All they have done is gotten themselves into a loop of not believing they have the talent and skills and characteristics to be so darned great.
We need to help these people by breaking the self-destructive loop. Please do it.
The collapse last year of Orbital Wines, UK based distributor for South African wines abroad has serious economic impacts for the effected vineyards of the Western Cape’s Stormhoek locale. In total the vineyards have lost revenues amounting to R6,000,000. This is a very large amount of money for a labour intensive industry to kiss goodbye. There is no hope of a dividend from the liquidation of Orbital.
The economy for the region may be severley harmed, but the worst and saddest legacy of Orbital’s demise will be the human impact.
Vineyard workers will have to be laid off unless some quick & effective cash injections to contribute toward operational costs is found. Unlike the UK where if you get laid off work, you can make your way to the local Job Centre, sign on and get state benefits paid out to you each week, the vineyard workers like Manus, Maxwell and Ludwe (in main photo above), do not have the luxury and security of anything remotely like this to fall back on in the event they cannot earn a wage to keep their families fed, housed, clothed and the kids educated.
We are asking you to dig deep into your Big Love for SA wines and help keep the affected Western Cape vineyards operating. How? By buying a Stormhoek vine.

Sounds cheesy but its groovy. And it’s even cool too.
Someone you know could benefit from ENGAGE. Successful groovy cats in blogosphere use these lessons everyday, every hour without realising it. So I say why shouldn’t you have the same opportunity as they do? You deserve it. Others you know also do.
How many times have you stood in front of a door that could lead you to a better,brighter future but have been too darned much of a yellowbellied scardycat to reach out and push the door open? Most of us have walked away from the door wondering if maybe, just maybe we made a mistake by not trusting our instinct to open the door? How many times do you read about it? How many times do you keep saying to yourself, “OK I promise that from tomorrow I will do it”?
How many promises have you broken? How many more disappointments will you weakly let yourself endure? Oh give up why doncha and just phone your local “Soft Bendy Backbones For Rent” outlet. It’ll save time and effort and quicken your demise. Yes go on and make another false promise about that diet, those piano lessons, the bricklaying course or whatever it is that really appeals to your complete lack of ENGAGEMENT.
But you are weak and pathetic and so you won’t do a damn thing about it. Will you? Heck, you don’t even use one of your options to phone a friend or ask the audience. Now that is really pathetic.
But all is not lost. There is a way to help yourself out of the 120ft deep hole you are digging. All you have to do is point your mouse up here above and to your right in the sidebar at the brown cardboard box with the blue arrow pointing into it and/or click here to download the ENGAGE presentation.
If you enjoy being called a cowardy custard, fine. Don’t download the file. Just stay as you are for the rest of your life or you could change and Engage some important stuff about life and make your future a lot brighter. Afterall, the choice is yours.
