Here's a list of regular, worthwhile-looking New Media events. By that, I mean to exclude print media and advertising unless the primary focus is online. I'll add as I notice others.
Web, software, digital design, development and internet entrepreneurship events are welcome. I'll also note those I have attended and add some micro-reviews when I have [...]

So here's another compilation of interesting cars, buggies and wheeled beasties I find as I go about my travels on the South African Interweb. Part one is here.

Lada Niva 1600 Project Car:
R8500 - Cape Town

Not running, but de-rusted, resprayed, rubberized, with mags a towbar and sparewheel rack.

1971 Citroën DS20 5spd:
R20000 - Cape [...]

I guess the below user was trying to downoad my site backups.. Odd, to say the least. Dude, let me know if there's something specific you want.. I am a human, you know.

Being a huge closet car fan, I  thought I'd start a collection of some of the cars I spot for sale in SA as there's some great oddities and bargains around. I browse Gumtree most days to see what odd stuff has popped up, waiting for a moment when I can't resist to pounce on [...]

Today I'm in the Drakensberg mountains attending a wedding (this has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world to tie the knot), watching the clouds change the incredible mountain vista in front of me. This is also the final day of the 2009 Dusi Canoe marathon, set in the same provence, [...]

Most freelancers will know of FreelanceSwitch, run by Cyan & Collis Taeed. Well, there's a nice little interview by Capetonian 'Adii (Wordpress) Rockstar' on his site, admittedly from way back last year, but it's still good stuff. I especially liked the comment about the difference between getting and losing a job tender being in the [...]

I wanted to share a few things about getting online, both in terms of internet and mobile in South Africa, particularly for UK residents.
The first thing I did when I landed was pick up a HSDPA package from Vodacom Hire. This is a really convenient service for a temporary solution. They give you a [...]

I thought it might be useful to post some of the equivelents to popular euro/US sites that I've come across in South Africa, for those who are used to doing everything online. I'll add to this as I come across others.
Auctions, P2P selling, Classifieds (like Ebay)
Although Ebay.co.za exists, it isn't really being used a great [...]

I do love visualisations. I think what sparked my interest when I was a student was the Winamp plug-in 'Geiss', which is still the no.1 plug-in download today, almost 10 years later (!). I created my own audio toys as part of my experimentation back then, and visualisations are my inspiration to learn design patterns [...]

I had a present in the post today... my new Moo business cards arrived and they are fantastic! The information side especially came out just as I wanted it. It's a great service, and was really fast in delivery.
