Migration

I have migrated LIFE IN GENERAL! I am now officially a Wordpress user and one step closer to geekdom. Check out the new improved version on CLUCKHOFF.COM.

It's a work in progress, but at least it's one step up from this :)

Crash, boom, bang

Wow, what a week. When you kick it off by standing on a rocky outcrop at the tip of a peninsula filming 7 to 8 meter swells, you know it's going to be rough and humbling all at the same time.

Brain dump:

1. We confirmed the Fochini Group as a client. The campaign will focus on 16 Days of Activism.
   
2. Had a drink with someone who blew my mind and subsequently scared me shitless.
3. Confirmed come kick-ass judges for the RTD Red Bull RADAR competition and secured the recently rebranded kulula air as the flight sponsor and the ever awesome Daddy Long Legs as the accommodation sponsor. Whoever wins is going to have a rockstar week for sure.
4. Pushed the limits on the RTD blog competition. Waiting to see what happens.
   
5. Attended Vinny Lingham's Synthasite function and spoke to some of the biggest investors in SA. Now I'm tasked with identifying ten companies I believe are worth investing in. Scary...
   
6. Had to face some really big HR issues this week. This is all very new to me and I'm just grateful it's all panning out.
7. Had some very surreal Skype conversations.
8. Had an incredible meeting with m.24.com. It looks like getclosure! is finally going mobile.
9. Realised how grateful I am that I form part of such incredible communities.
10. Realised that not everyone and everything is what they seem to be and that ego is a dangerous 5 headed beast.

And finally: I'm really, really glad it's Friday today.

*STOMP STOMP STOMP*

Weblebrities

According to LOGIC AND EMOTION you know you're a weblebrity when: "Total strangers you meet at conferences know more about you than your significant other."

I wouldn't necessarily say that I am quiet there yet (thank goodness), but I must admit I am very freaked out when people tell me they actually read my posts. Why?! I refer the reader to my first post ever which reads:

I am not a geek, nor am I a blogger. I have no intent on writing every day nor am I under any false illusions that tons of people are going to read this. (In fact I prefer it that way.)"

So imagine my surprise when this blonde haired dude (we've established I suck at names) meets me for the first time at the last 27Dinner and promptly tells me he reads this blog!

WTF?! This page was always meant as a space to brain dump. A space to clear my head of the endless conversations and questions.

Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered that people are interested in my 'garbage' but I am slightly perturbed too. Why would people care? Where do they find the time? What value could they possibly derive from reading all of this?

Perhaps what I am most freaked out by is that, despite knowing this is a public domain, I am actually having to consider the fact that I should think about what I say - and I don't want to. What use is this page if I can't be honest, open, say what's on my mind and rant when ever the f*ck I feel like it?

I am fully aware that I can't always say exactly what I like, that would be suicide, but I am having to think about all of this none the less. I haven't quite made up my mind on this issue, so will stew on it for a while.

This is me stewing...
