- Captain AwesomeCaptain Awesome Heads Towards The Light
Not just any light, but rather the Light. No that was not a grammatical error now by adding in a capital l in Light.
The reason that is not incorrect, is because this is for Ms Light. Someone who keeps urging me to blog!
This is for you!
/end boring, nonsense post!
PS* I will have many many updates for you during the week once I actually manage to get my head around everything else going on!
- Captain AwesomeQuirk Have Sponsored My eMarketing course!
So a few weeks ago I pleaded with you that “Captain Awesome Needs Your Support” in an attempt to get someone to help sponsor me the needed funding so that I could take part in the Quirk eMarketing course.
Guess who pulled through!? Quirk in connection with Get Smarter!
I was over joyed when Lyndi from Quirk got hold of me to talk about offering me sponsorship! I was over the moon really! Not only did they help me to do the course but they have provided the course free of charge to me! WOOHOO! I was really worried that the guys over at Quirk were going to milk the oppurtunity to take advantage of someone really in debt to them, but when I asked what was expected of me in the course, they simply told me to do the best that I could. I was actually a bit shocked to here that they did not even want to me to come into the office for a bit and help out some way but hey, I am grateful and that is why I am writing this!
Without the help of Quirk and Get Smarter I would not have been able to do the course and I really am thankful that they have provided me with this awesome oppurtunity.
I am pretty sure they are keeping an eye on my progress and hopefully I am doing a good enough job. I am one of 8 I think that have got 100% so far. This was only for the initial quiz from the first week but hey, I guess it still counts. I handed in my first assignment today which was really interesting!
Captain Awesome Needs Your Support
Ladies, Gentlemen, even your cats and other furry animals, I request your help!
I have been working fairly hard on establishing Captain Awesome over the last few months, and I must thank you for your amazing support. It has been through the support and help you ladies and gentlemen that keeps me going and driving that passion to blog and succeed at it (well at least try to!).
Here is where I ask for your support once again! A couple of weeks ago, I had a bet with a work mate of mine where the first one to 50 fans for their blog got lunch bought for them! The only reason I got a chicken sandwhich was because of the awesome support that you guys showed for Captain Awesome!
So once again I ask for your support again! Please spread the news about my site, and try and promote it as if it was your own! After all, I do this for you guys and in an attempt to empower the local blogosphere. I would love to reach 500 fans, but for now I am aiming to reach just 100! That is just 30 more people than current!
I know with your help we can do this together! Send your friends to the following link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Captain-Awesome/322851424134?ref=ts
PLEASE!

So as I said previously, my aim is to be involved somehow with the SA blog awards this year, and to do this I was going to try and post daily. Unfortunately with work this has slipped lately as I have been hecticly busy and not had the time or energy to do any posts!

I know I need to write some more entertaining, interesting and engaging content, and I promise that will come as soon as I can find some time! Hopefully I can clear out a backlog of posts for the week ahead and that will take care of things!

- Captain AwesomeCape Town Clams Down On Traffic Violations
JOINT STATEMENT
MINISTER OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, LENNIT MAX MINISTER OF TRANSPORT ROBIN CARLISLE CITY OF CAPE TOWN MAYCO MEMBER FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY CLLR. JP SMITH
Province and city launch blitz on seatbelt, number plate compliance and cell phone use
Immediate release: Wednesday, 03 March 2010
Minister of Community Safety, Lennit Max and City of Cape Town Mayco member, JP Smith will today launch a 30 day blitz on seatbelt and number plate compliance, and cell phone usage while driving.
At 13h00 today, Minister Max and Transport Minister Robin Carlisle will travel in separate Ghost Squad police cars to personally observe the operation.
Over the next month, a team constituted of provincial and City of Cape Town traffic officials will conduct a variety of mini-blitzes throughout the metropole to clampdown on the three traffic offences.
The CoCT processed 1874 number plate offences, 661 cell phone offences and 3034 safety belt offences in January.
Minister Carlisle said: “The blitz is the first of a rollout of special traffic enforcement operations for 2010 under the banner of the provincial government’s Safely Home campaign which aims to halve road fatalities in the province by 2014. The province and city are determined to avoid the spike in road carnage of recent years.”
Minister Max was emphatic that the blitz will help change perceptions about seatbelt compliance.
“Many motorists only wear a seatbelt to avoid a fine or arrest. We want motorists to buckle up because they can save lives by simply wearing their seatbelts. Too many lives have been lost on our roads due to human negligence. Research shows that we can reduce road fatalities by at least 30% by enforcing seatbelt compliance”.
OK GO – This Too Shall Pass
Wow this is a hectic music video! I am not so sure if I like the song, but just take a peak at the actual video! Must have taken quite a while to do!
