A different school assembly (Video)

Every school that has ever had a uniform policy has had issues with the enforcement of such a policy. In an attempt to get buy-in from his pupils, a local Cape Town school teacher employed a very different approach to a morning assembly.

I couldn't help but watch this over and over again!

Zeitgeist - Addendum

A year ago, nearly to the day, I stopped short ... just ... of imploring you to watch the controversial and thought-provoking Zeitgeist.

Now a year later the producers of this free web based documentary have released a 'sequel.'

"The second film, Zeitgeist: Addendum, attempts to locate the root causes
of this pervasive social corruption, while offering a solution. This solution is not
based on politics, morality, laws, or any other "establishment" notions of human affairs,
but rather on a modern, non-superstitious based understanding of what we are
and how we align with nature, to which we are a part. The work advocates
a new social system which is updated to present day knowledge, highly influenced
by the life long work of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project."

Friday SA Music Spotlight- Jax Panik

Jax Panic is, Jacobus Johannes van Heerden, is an oke from Bellville, Cape Town.

He has been billed as SA's first online musician, releasing his music in the online space only. Reading several write-ups and his own biography there has been a stream of thought that his music is somewhat emo-ish. I don't get that,
"A sexy mix of pop, rock, and electro, with catchy hooks", Yes. In fact there is a whole load eighties pop group 'Yes' stuck deep down is his sound. It's a great blast from the past for those who remember the late eighties mix of artists.
For someone who bought some cheap software and started recording and programming his own tracks the sound is rich and just complex enough for the discerning listener to keep listening long enough to appreciate the mix and lyrics but still poppy and catchy enough to be appreciated by the masses. Kind of like a thinking man's Mika!

Download Online Video

How often do you see a video on a site and you really wish you could download it and keep it in a safe place. Us bandwidth starved South African have the additional problem in that every time we show someone that cool, interesting short we eat into a meager monthly cap.
So wouldn't it be preferable to rather download the video once?
Clearly there are many that think so, as it is something I am regularly asked. So here is the answer Keepvid.com

It takes just three simple steps.

1. This is probably the most complicated. Locate the exact url of the video. This is not necessarily the website or blog website you find the video so you may need to click on the video or navigate to the host site.
2. Copy the link and paste it into the textbox at the top of the site.
3. You will be given a link to click on and download.

Enjoy.
