There’s a news reader in my feed reader!
Two posts popped up in my feed reader yesterday with legendary news reader Riaan Cruywagen’s name in them, both linking back to this ‘words’ post, which is simply a republished list that was circulating via e-mail at the time.
Natually I clicked through and ended up watching a short (11 min) documentary film entitled “Don’t Shoot” … view full post
Hard-Fi
The first time I heard Hard-Fi was at a Green Day concert in mid-2005.
They were a support act substituting for Simple Plan who had pulled out. Apart from enjoying the catchy Cash Machine (“There’s a hole in my pocket, my pocket, my pocket”), I thought nothing much of them and spent more of my energy on enjoying … view full post
Green Point Stadium

Released last year, it was produced by the collective creative talents at Ontwerp (brilliant site) and Humanoid. If you’re a late arrival to the party like … view full post
Living My Life Faster
Nearly 5 years ago I linked to a fellow freelance interactive designer, Jonathan Keller, who was taking a daily self-portrait and archiving it online as A Daily Photo Project, which appears to now be titled “The Adaption to my Generation”.
His links page offers similar obsessive … view full post

Demolition
Four Johannesburg inner-city buildings are imploded to make way for the 700-vehicle, seven-storey parkade for the new Gautrain station. (An update on a previous post – they went with my preferred logo of choice, nice!) Listen for the 9/11 reference. (via Real South Africa)… view full post
