The DA's election blunder
I was chatting to our housekeeper this morning about the elections yesterday. She said something that reinforced my views about the DA’s election campaign on the streets. She views the DA as a strong party and feels that Helen Zille could potentially take the presidency one day. The problem is the DA’s heavy emphasis on stopping Zuma which many voters interpret as an attack on them,...

My life tends to be expressed through 1 of 2...
I am either obsessed/intensely passionate about a series of things and activities (currently my obsessions or passions include FriendFeed, Lord of the Dance and one of FriendFeed’s founders, Paul Buchheit) or I am just doing all the other stuff.
How I feel about all the other stuff varies from one thing to the next but I am pretty much always excited and hungry for the stuff I am...

This video was linked to in a conversation about Mike Arrington’s views about FriendFeed and Twitter. It is a fantastic video because I think it is so true.

If you want a good laugh, read Gillmor’s post first and then read Scoble’s comment.
“On Friday the FriendFeed founders Bret Taylor and Paul Buchheit debuted a...”
