It’s amazing how blogging energy gets sapped when one is busy on multiple projects AND in love with a beautiful woman. Ah well. She’s in Cape Town this very second. Having just flown there from Port Elizabeth. She’s on the cast of a piece of corporate theatre I’ve just written. Had the first show last night. The audience reportedly loved it! Yay!!!<\/p>\n
(And no… I had nothing to do with her winning the role. She auditioned just like everyone else. And the work is flooding in for her. She’s been offered two other roles in quick succession. Wow!)<\/p>\n
That design client I pitched for on behalf of POTION, the design company I co-created some while back with Denis and Chanel… We won the pitch. Against nine other design agencies. Yeeehaaaa!<\/p>\n
But we didn’t know what we were letting ourselves in for. We’ve been working REALLLLY hard on the job. Major hours. And the client is young and bullish, and doesn’t reallllly know how design briefs work. So it’s quite exhausting for us to be both doing the work AND educating the client as to how to be a client. But hey. It feels great.<\/p>\n
I’ve been investigating tablet PCs after reading positive things about them on Robert Scoble’s blog<\/a>. The crazy thing about South African computer distributors is that they offer only the most rudimentary factory configuration. Many of the companies I’ve spoken to say this…<\/p>\n “We don’t really sell many tablet PCs here. No demand.” Words to that effect.<\/p>\n
