Learning that sticks like chewing gum in your brain

You know that a process has been worthwhile when it immediately galvanises you into implementing what it was about. To whit: The tomorrowtoday.biz workshop on blogging, RSS and Podcasting. Dr. Graeme Codrington, Barrie Bramley and Mike Stopforth, along with [I’m sure totally intentional ;-) ] disruption by Rich Mulholland and Dave Meyer of MissingLink - combined in an experiential learning gig. My webmistress (without her red leather mini skirt and fish-net stockings) - Denise Rundle – was also in the workshop. The session itself was like a blog – people e-mailing each other, going live on to sites with their 3G cards, nattering to each other. Although an afternoon session, I left on an absolute high and on getting home, immediately knocked together my first blog. In today’s business environment it’s not frequent that you walk away with something you can immediately use by way of a new insight or skill. All of the lads get 10/10 for their input and inspiration. Bravissimo!

Inspired? You bet! Thanks guys for a stimulating and challenging session yesterday. As a webmistress (fish-net stockings available upon request), I realise that the net (pun!) is a constant challenge - one has to rise or get left behind. I am already thinking of apps for clients. Clive your blog - design is cool, comments not - intended to create reaction as usual!

Thanks the scott - good thought. Will make it happen. Endorse and echo your view on your blog about Standard Bank charging for confirmation of EFT payments. FNB have been doing something similar, but free - for ages. Not the nice face of capitalism. Amandla!

Hey Clive, welcome to the blogosphere (ugh, there, I said it!) - insight from guys with a bit of grey wisdom is rare in the blogosphere (there, I said it again, and no offense :-)) these days... Consider me subscribed!

Hey Martin - welcome aboard! And I'm buying a bottle of Ms. Clairol medium brown beard-dye this afternoon! ;-)

Martin, I'm putting safety pins in Heinrich's chair as punishment for using "the word", you explain to him why I've been forced to do this...!
