Yes, I know I promised you a post, still working on it.

Tomorrow, Thursday July 30th is Blogger’s Happy Hour (the Ugandan version). Mateo’s 6pm.

Just found out Google search is now in Luganda – http://www.google.co.ug click “Luganda” below the box. I was amused beyond belief. Now waiting for the Norden Connexion version.

You might find this interesting – http://www.wolframalpha.com It’s a “mathematical search engine”. Watched its live launch a few months back with fascination. (try typing in “Kampala” or “Kampala London”, minus the quotes).

Design Kingdom is taking up tonnes of my blogging time, so bear with me.

For those who know my other blog, I’ll be shifting “The Dark Side” and “1001 Tales” here. I decided the other blog needs to remain pure in its original purpose, which is just plain daftness.

I think I have run out of things to say…

odd notes

My furious multitasking led me to this, a Zen Koan:

Tanzan and Ekido were once travelling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.

Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.

“Come on, girl,” said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.

Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. “We monks don’t go near females,” he told Tanzan, “especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?”

“I left the girl there,” said Tanzan. “Are you still carrying her?”

There is much to ponder in there. It made some things a lot clearer to me.

when to stop reading

I spent the better part of the weekend reading a very fascinating book: The Knack, recommended by Mr. bDawg (thanks dawg). The Knack is authored by two columnists for Inc Magazine, Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham.

I very highly recommend it for anyone who wants to step into the murky and very turbulent waters of entrepreneurship, or even simply being self employed. Even seasoned business owners will benefit from the wisdom in its pages. It’s refreshing because the advice is dished out in a very non-assuming way and does not get too technical (well, some parts are inevitable, like finances, but that’s about it.)

While reading it, however, one thought kept crossing my mind: “I know this stuff. I’ve read it and experienced it before.” Now, before you write me off as another charlatan, let me explain.

so in love

When I found you, you were all alone
All of your strength and hope was gone
I gave you My heart to help you carry on
And you turned and walked away
But I stayed right by your side
Many night I sat with you and cried
Still you turned around and denied Me
But I still stayed, I stayed

Tell Me what I did to you, to make you do
Me like you do
All I did was try to prove that I love you
Tell Me what I have to give in order for you to believe
Believe Me that I’ll never leave

I know you never thought I’d write you a song
You thought that I was just for Sunday morning
But you’ve been in My heart all along and I want to say I love you so
But sometimes you don’t think that My heart breaks
You can’t feel the way that My heart aches when I
Watch you make the same mistakes
I watch you do it time and time again

Sometimes I just want to hold you in My arms, keep you safe from harm
Stay right by your side from the night until the dawn
And keep you close to Me, never let you go
When others hurt you, love the hurt away
I wont desert you, promise that I’ll stay
Hear Me when I say really love you so

— Donnie McClurkin – So in Love

It’s Monday! Thank God!

Can you believe it? It’s already Monday. How cool is that?

A fresh new week.

Seven more days of exploring ways to help our clients harness the internet!

Seven more days of rediscovering passion.

Seven more days of finding ways to change the world.

Seven more days of being me.

And I just read something awesome a few minutes ago:

“Being average is for losers.”

Well, here’s to not being average!

Have yourselves a brilliant week!
