It’s officially the first event I’ve been involved in organising in the blogging community and it’s been a great experience thus far. There’s been alot of interest as well as sponsorship and speaking offers which makes my task alot easier. What we need now is to get the message out there and get people to [...]
So, my visit to the SA Blog awards proved to be quite strange, interesting, confusing and thought provoking. I knew I was kidding myself into thinking it wouldn’t run into a booze-up, that being the most frustrating part for me as the smell of alcohol in the air kept me outside on the Balcony for [...]

I’m so disappointed to be out of town for this event that I’m thinking about attending virtually. How? Using MSN & a webcam and linking up with anyone at the event willing to do the same. I think doing so will be a great way to extend the attendance and show the power of online [...]
Just to let you know why things seem a bit odd around here lately, I am currently in the process of re-designing my website. All the content is still accessible as I didn’t want to completely remove the site so bare with me for a short while and the “new nomad-one†should be up and [...]
