EULA = End User License Agreement. That annoying scroll-down window of text you always ignore when installing new software. I must've installed software hundreds of times, and never once read the agreement. My indifferent attitude has never come back to bite me,...
I can't make out if this is for real or a hoax web site? I guess with all the Hollywooders that make the apparently obvious transition from movies to politics you can't be too sure? Check it out for yourself. Would you vote for Christopher Walken? (click here for the...
If you're interested in the month's top 500 blogs then check out Feedster's list (click here) Each month they list 500 'interesting and important' blogs. It's based on how many hits a blog gets. To be honest though I think I agree with Robert Scoble, the writer of the...
Pete Carruthers is one of my favourite commentators (he needs a blog!). He sends out a regular email (click here to sign up for free), and is a great advocate (he calls himself a Warrior) for small business (mainly in South Africa, but his stuff is great for...
I picked up a kewl post on CherryFlava today (click here) about Blogging becoming a paid career opportunity in some companies on the globe.(click here for full article at Courier-Jornal.com) Companies employing bloggers are seeing it as an opportunity to use a...
Here's a post that you'll all thank me for. You know how sometimes (well actually most of the time) you wish you could see what a web page looked like last year, or the year before that, or even way back in 1996, but you neglected to save it to your hard drive? NOT!...
So you're involved in an accident. The paramedics arrive. You're unconscious, but there's a cell phone in your pocket/bag. Who do they phone to work out who you are, or who needs to be notified? That's the idea behind the In Case of Emergency (ICE) campaign. Prompted...
Red Nova News reports today from the San Jose Mercury News that as Northern Hemisphere students look forward to the opening of a new school year, a generation gap emerges - "what to buy for back to school?" Largely its a matter of what technology purchase will be most...
What is the difference between good and bad service? The 11th of August was a big day for me. It was Biannual Cellphone Upgrade day. Time to trade in my outdated (and somewhat worse for wear) Nokia 6100 for a shiny new handset. I'd checked out all the specials, seen...
The UK holiday season has been left reeling with the Industrial Crisis at British Airways. Tens of thousands of travellers stranded at Heathrow and tens of thousands more left stranded in other countries trying to get home. More than 500 flights cancelled due to the...
A few days ago I got a bit of flack on the Quality debate. I’m bored with that topic, so I won't go there, but a few interesting things came out of that posting (and a few in the past that have been turning over in my mind), that I felt I wanted share with you as a...

I've been doing quite a bit of thinking around the plausibility of incorporating blogging in classrooms. The idea first struck me while catching up on my Biology skills with The Learning Channel on SABC 3 just the other day. I figure, if interactive television can...
Two marvelous links that show how Sun Microsystems is embracing the blogging phenomenon (Inner Circle - Blogging in Business) and "managing" it (Sun Policy on Public Discourse).
I have included an editorial from The New York Times below, it was short enough to post the whole thing and pretty good reading (worth it just for the last paragraph...): Published: August 5, 2005 "Earlier this week, Technorati, a Web site that indexes blogs, released...
At last I have a great example of customer service to share! It's a rare thing - but when a company does get their customer service right it is thing to behold and admire! I recently went shopping at IKEA ... and to cut a long story short they had some stock issues...
This evening, I took the evening our from work and our three daughters (youngest is 10 weeks old), and went out movies with my wife. We saw an amazing movie that I can highly recommend to anyone wanting to make sense of the business world today. It is not an attempt...
