Heart warming trully inspiring example of human “being”

francobadenhorst — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 12:47:18 +0000

Saw this post on Twitter Prodigy’s blog and absolutely have to help distribute these kind of vibes. Father-son relationship that was doomed from the beginning but bloomed into something beautiful. If only more people had this type of attitude…..

I can only imagine.

CRMtutor is online!

Although I consider myself an absolute newbie in the blogosphere, I can say that I find blogging (and web interaction in general) very satisfying.

So much so, that another blog is on the rise. Why have two blogs you ask? Well, something I learnt very early in my online experience is that your content should be focused something specific. While this blog (FB’s thoughts…) focusses on whatever might interest me (mind body or soul), I do not want to force information on people not looking for it. Hence, www.CRMtutor.biz !

CRMtutor is about everything CRM. A free source of valuable, relevant, essential and interesting information relating to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) as a way of life, a company strategy, business division, IT Based Software packages. An area for anyone wanting to know about or how to “CRM”. It is aimed at a very wide spectrum of individuals: from anyone with very little Internet experience with only basic knowledge , containing tips, tricks and explanations, while it also contains economic- , industry- and product related information and reviews for advanced CRM users. Various (guest) contributors will ensure that the content is of high and balanced quality. As the site grow in popularity additional features will be included.

See you there!

Bing (aka live search)

So Microsoft has finally done away with Live Search – www.live.com (Yeah!) and launched their new ”decision engine” called Bing. Check it out for yourself. It is still quite young, but the potential is pretty exciting. Here, you can see one of the adverts MS are using to create awareness around Bing (in competition with Google). Enjoy….

Alice in Wonderland by Burton … coming in 2010

francobadenhorst — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:35:35 +0000

Releasing 5 March 2010! That’s right (in the US at least) with director, Tim Burton, and actor, Johnny Depp, are sure to add their own unique style and flavour to this already fantastical world renowned tale.

Lewis Carol (pseudonym used by English writer Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) wrote Alice in Wonderland in 1865, 3yrs after returning from a boat trip on the River Thames with three little girls and a Reverend. The eldest girl, Alice Lidell, requested a story for her and her two sisters. And this is how Alice came into existence. If that is not enough detail for you, feel free to start your own ”Alice Analysis“. *Let me know if you find anything worth updating this article with!

I am looking forward to the marketing campaigns and hype created around this popular book, not to mention the movie. Is it too soon to start speculating about a sequel: “Through the Looking-glass”?

So it has all gone down already! This years O’Neill CWC SA was held at Misty Cliffs and Kalk Bay in last week’s stormy and gale force weather. Not the cleanest waves ever, but all the surfers came out blazing hot in the cold. Herewith, a highlights package for this years CWC for all of you who missed the action:

Possibly the best surfing move ever? by a South African!

francobadenhorst — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:13:58 +0000

Why does it not surprise me that a South African (21 year old Jordy Smith) recently pulled off what is being called the sickest/best surfing move ever? It is quite a statement to make, isn’t it? Check this clip caught on camera in Indo (and the response from other surfers) and then make your decision. Let me know what you think. *Bodyboarders: an ARS on a surfboard!
