TEDAfrica 2008 suspended, a temporary setback for South Africa

According to an email from Chris Anderson, the curator of the TED Conference, TEDAfrica due to be held in Cape Town at the end of September 2008 has been suspended. This news has also been posted on the TED Blog where I have already posted a comment and I encourage you to do so as well. This is a sad moment for Africa and more so for South Africa, which would have been the 2nd country to host the amazing TED Conference. Last year I was blessed and honoured to attend TEDGlobal in Tanzania as a Read More →

Zan Perrion, one of the most respected teachers from the seduction community, visited Cape Town about a year ago. My friend Lloyd de Jongh actually met him in person.

Anyway decide for yourself if this video clip has any concepts of ideas that moves you...

This is technically the 2nd TED conference in Africa, although its the 1st to named TEDAfrica, a new annual conference focussed on bringing together the Cheetah generation with global visionaries in one mega conference. I also echo his sentiments that if this is even close to TEDGlobal in Tanzania, in 2007, it'll be a huge success. And in the words of George Ayittey, these conference will rank as the most important events at the beginning of the 21st century Read More →

Psychologies Workshop: Dr Helgo Schomer on Stress Management

Dr Helgo SchomerDr Helgo Schomer was the 2nd speaker at the Psychologies Workshop I attended on Saturday, 28 July in Cape Town at Groot Constantia.

I really liked his energy and direct approach to dealing with problems. Sometimes I perceived him Read More →

You will enjoy this DVD if you enjoy other current science fiction series like The 4400 or Heroes. The producers include Bryan Singer, director of first Read More →

First thing I realised after checking in at the newly renamed OR Tambo International (Johannesburg International) airport is that I forgot my Read More →
