It’s been a while since I started working on my e-newsletter aimed at providing value adding content to empower businesses, organisations and individuals in general. The focus of the newsletter will take what I have started on this site and move forward in a much more structured manner. Hot on the heals of my re-design [...]
Finally it’s here, something I’ve been wanting to organise myself but haven’t managed to get around to doing, an (un)conference style wordpress meetup, and hopefully only the first of many to happen in Cape Town. Callum Macdonald, nomadic web worker and travelling entrepreneur hailing from Scotland was responsible for setting the ball in motion after [...]

Even though I have been following [...]
I’m so excited about the progress of my humble little site and though in many people’s eyes my few achievements might seem minuscule, I’m over the moon at the results I have achieved in a very short space of time that I had to share it with you. First things first lets go to the [...]
The last few weeks have been an amazing experience for me as a blogger, designer and new media strategist though it’s been one steep learning curve. It all started when I quit my day job a little short of 2 months ago. I had been blogging for a while experimentally and on more of a [...]

I read this one a while ago and as a web designer found it both hilarious and sad at the same time. Tell me what you think. It’s sounds so bizarre but is a daily reality. Dear Mr. Architect: Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, [...]
Spending the last few weeks just focussing on getting my business going has caused me to neglect my environmental and sustainability focus for a while. Even though I had writing a Blog Action Day post on my calendar I just never got around to it so I thought the least i could do is report [...]
