Proof The World Is Only 6000 Years Old
I really am not a fan of religion and the following is simply why:

I saw these pictures the other day but with xmas and all I forgot to post them. Here are the two pictures posted on Twitter.
Any one know any more details?
- Captain AwesomeTop 10 Startups of 2011
So All Top Startups recently released a list of their top 10 startups of 2011. I had a look at them and largely would agree, but most of these have all been well covered already and there were no real surprises.
- AirBnB
- Square
- Klout
- Turntable.fm
- Dropbox
- GroupMe
- Quora
What do you guys rate? Worthy start-ups, or just simply the start-ups that have gathered the most noise and press?
- Captain AwesomeSteve Jobs: The Billionaire Hippy Documentary
This is an hour long BBC documentary that was recently aired in the UK. I had a watch of this and it is a nice insight into the mans life. You clearly need far more than an hour to cover his extraordinary life.
What do you guys think?
- Captain AwesomeHeineken: Sunrise Belongs To The Moderate Drinker
What you have heard is true – I like to party and I like to party hard. Daddy doesn’t play no games when he goes out and you shouldn’t be any different. Just a fair warning though, if you do try and keep up, you will probably lose at least an eye, a limb and probably at least one testicle. I warned you.
If you have always enjoyed living on the edge and taking a chance with your life and are prepared to risk a knee cap here and there, then sure, try and keep up! Otherwise, I think it is safer for you to try and just make sure that you stay away from the booze and just try to survive and make it to sunrise.
Heineken have a smashing new campaign out where they are trying to get all of you to realize that while you might *think* that you can keep pace while trying to smash back a long line of Tequila shots, it is probably safer for you to try to do things in moderation.
“Sunrise belongs to the moderate drinker” is the name of their campaign and actually carries some pretty solid advice considering the number of times that I have woken up in a drunken stupor while trying to work out who, and where the hell I was while crawling out of a gutter on the east side of Kraaifontein. That’s not a pretty place.
As always, Heineken come out with some really good ads, and this one is no different. This one has an exception though, it goes against their usual grain of, “our beer is awesome and I hope you smash loads of them in your face”, but instead focuses on, “Yes our beer is totally awesome, but its best when you behave like a perfect gentleman, drink in moderation and actually end up remembering the great night out and that tasty beer“.
