Welcome to South Africa

Posted in General, Life

I had to laugh today, a friend has come to South Africa from Germany for three years. The company he works for arranged a rental car for a few weeks. The tyres on the car are worn down to very close to the thread wear indicator. One tyre on the left of the car is punctured by a stone the thread is so thin. Now the funny part is when we looked at the spare tyre, it was rotation specific for the right hand side of the car. So basically the car rental company is saying, “We provide a spare tyre for you but just make sure to get a puncture on the right hand side of the car” :-)
Sketchcasting
I just find a new type of communication method, it’s called sketchcasting. It looks pretty cool and is similar to the UPS adverts which were very well received. Watch this video which explains the concept, I have included a link to an example of the adverts for your comparison.

Click Here to see the UPS Whiteboard ads. Click TV spots to see the ads I was talking about.

Recovering introvert progress….

Posted in General, Life, Links, Recovering Introvert, ThirtyDayChallenge

Well I have been calling myself a recovering Introvert for quite a while now and this week I experienced a sort of a milestone in that recovery. I started feeling a little unwell on about Tuesday and through Wednesday I felt it getting worse. I spent some time with some friends on Sunday and one of them had been diagnosed with bronchitis so I was pretty sure I had picked that up.

So Thursday I took myself off to the doctor in the morning as I felt a sort of gurgling in my lungs, he said it was definitely the start of bronchitis. Well Friday I decided, as I was coughing my lungs out, it was best not to go to work. So I sent my boss an sms, cancelled my lunch appointment with the pastor and emailed the AWANA commander that I wasn’t going to make it for AWANA.

Now normally I would thrive in that situation. As an introvert I live to spend time alone and even though I was sick, I would feel great being alone. Friday though, I was bored out of my skull. I missed talking to people at work, missed the kids at AWANA. I horribly missed my interaction with people.

Definitely a milestone as a recovering introvert if you ask me :-)

Scribefire
Today I am trying out a firefox extension called Scribefire. It allows me to hit a button directly in my browser and post to my blog in a real short amount of time. I learned about this extension and a few more really useful extensions on this year’s Thirty Day Challenge.
I will see how it works over the next few days and maybe do a review of it later.

The challenge is on

Posted in Competitions, General, ThirtyDayChallenge

I haven’t had a chance to tell you guys about the latest challenge on the internet at the moment. Its called the Thirty day challenge and you can get to it by clicking here.

It has been live for two days now and the pre-event stuff has been awesome, even though I am behind on setting up the stuff.

It’s a pity that this is this first time this week that I can sit and relax thinking about today’s post, but I am not feeling too well so decided to go to bed early.
