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 am struggling! So please bare with me as I continue my efforts to post daily as well as keep you entertained! 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”.

So a nice rip off of the iPad and the fact that it seems Apple are making things bigger, rather than smaller. I guess we will have to see how things go…
Tamar Peroni Yacht Cruise Pics
So on Saturday evening we celebrated the birthday of the company, Tamar, which turned 15. We celebrated it by going on the Peroni Yacht from the V&A Waterfront around the coastline and stopping at Clifton, where the Cape Talk moonstruck concert was happening. It was a vibe and a really enjoyable experience. I took a few pictures, but unfortunately it is only with my phone so please bare with me.
Please enjoy the awesome vibe that is Cape Town.
