Solar Fire under OSX – finally!

Tweet Having studied astrology with Rod Suskin for 3 years, it has always annoyed me that I wasn’t able to run Solar Fire on my Mac.  When Codeweavers announced yesterday that their Lame Duck Challenge had been answered and that Crossover Office was available for free download, I decided once and for all to resolve this one last niggle.

October 27 Dinner, Cape Town

Tweet Great 27 Dinner last night at the Wild Fig.  Loads of interesting people interspersed with some cool talks, meaning we got home way too late for a school night. Highlights included: Marlon Parker and “The King“; Stormhoek Big Love; Justin Hartman, both his Afrigator talk and some photo’s that I took and promised I wouldn’t blog about; Eran Eyal [...]

Learning to ride tsunami’s

Tweet This was the title of a talk that Max Kaizen gave to Saatchi staff over lunch today.  I guess it makes more sense with its subtitle: future skills for turbulent times.

iPhone apps: the story so far

Tweet Yesterday I wrote about the first iPhone/iPod Touch app that I bought – Zentropy Pointer.  On the back of that I was looking through the other apps that I have installed and use on a regular basis and thought I’d put them up here.  I’ve found that the novelty of a lot of the apps (especially the games) wear [...]

I finally bought an iPhone app

Tweet Up until now I’ve scrounged around on the iTunes store, seeing what free and Lite versions of apps I could discover that had some usefulness.  This morning though I found an app that I decided to go ahead and buy. Zentropy Pointer turns your iPod Touch or iPhone into a remote control, pointer and note tablet for Powerpoint and [...]

Nomadic Marketing

Tweet Spent the last 3 days on UCT’s Graduate School of Business Nomadic Marketing course.  As usual Dave Duarte rocks the room.  Loving his insights and the way he pulls it all together and contextualizes it perfectly. I spoke this morning on integrating social media into digital marketing and bringing this into traditional marketing campaigns.   As usual their were loads [...]
