Win With Zando and Captain Awesome – #ZandoFashion

For those of you who are one shirt short of a wardrobe…Wait…No really, I didn’t mean it like that. For those of you who really are one shirt short of a wardrobe, need a new pair of shoes or a start to a complete fashion make over; this post is for YOU.

Fashionista not Fashion Senseless

You see, the sweet, sexy folk over at Zando seem to understand that you are not wearing that shirt because you like it or you think those shoes look good with your outfit. They understand that there are loads of you out there, definitely me not included, *cough cough*, who simply don’t have the fashion know-how to realize that Zando has all the fashion expertise that anyone can need, all conveniently placed in one online fashion store. So now you don’t need to make up lame excuses about the latest fashion – instead you can simply wear it!

This is why they are giving YOU fashion senseless people a chance to win 10 x R100 vouchers in partnership with the not so stylish Captain Awesome. Cha, how AWESOME is that!?

How to Win

I don’t think there could be an easier way to become sexy.

Simply tweet using the hashtag #ZandoFashion and why you should be the one that gets one of the vouchers and gets to enter into the style elite. That is seriously all it takes and you could be a WINNA WENA thanks to Zando and err…ME! ;)

If you include a photo of why you should win, I will throw in an extra entry for free, gratis, mahala. Get creative peeps!

Winners will be announced in two batches, with the first five winners being announced this Friday, 1 June and the other five the following week.

SA Blog Awards – Vote for ME dammit!

Posted by Captain Awesome on Nov 8, 2011 in SA Blog Awards | 0 comments

So the last few years the blog awards have been an absolute shambles. (Yes I want you to pronounce that absolute like JZ does. Absolutely!) I got really into it a couple of years ago when my site was first launched and I was such a keen little bean it wasn’t even funny. I spammed (I would never spam you darlings) a massive campaign and went balls to the walls praying that my tiny readership pulled through. Anyway, a blog that hadn’t had a new post in over a year got through to the top 10 so I got over it.

The last couple years there has been more poop flung towards the awards than a big monkey brawl in the middle of the jungle with an unlimited supply of poop, loads of Red Bull and a sign declaring the monkey poop flinging Olympics open. It seems this year is no different and the poop, she is being flung in all directions!

I hadn’t really giving a flying wombat about what happens this year, but I thought that I would at least add the big (flipping ugly!?) banner onto my sidebar so that if people voted for me and I got through to the top 10, or how ever the hell things are working this year (seriously, wtf decides on how this shit works? A handitard who has tied their hands together with their own shoelaces??) that there were actually people who had voted for me and thought that my crappy writing was worth it.

Now, I am changing tact! Ha! Bet you never saw that one coming did you biatches!? Exactly. Now, I am changing the game, but I don’t want yáll to hate either the game or the player. In this case, especially the player coz that is me yo. Peace.

Captain Awesome Redesign – What do YOU think?

Posted by Captain Awesome on Apr 8, 2011 in Cape Town, My life | 0 comments

How are awesome people continuously awesome many people ask me. Ok, actually they don’t but that is because I can imagine they are actually just too intimidated to ask me an actual question. Yea I would be intimidated too but hey, it’s not easy being this awesome.

But the way that we do it is by continuously pushing the boundaries of awesome. So, I decided a few days ago that the site needed a redesign. I like to keep things fresh and obviously awesome so a brand spanking new look and feel for all you wonderful people to marvel at is here for your eyes to ogel and have visual eye sex with. No that probably didn’t make sense, but you know what I mean.

Captain Awesome Old

So there is a before and after shot. Obviously I am still tweaking it to try and get as much awesomesauce out of it as possible.

I want to know what YOU think! Leave me some comments below and you never know, your suggestion for a bright coloured unicorn could come to life.

Well Done Chaos Computers!

Posted by Captain Awesome on Dec 23, 2010 in Marketing, My life | 0 comments

So I like to moan, rant and especially rave about companies or brands that have failed me or just messed me around. With it being the festive season I thought I would stop being such a grumpy Captain Awesome and highly the AWESOMENESS that has been Chaos Computers recently!

Over the last couple of weeks they have been running a special where every day they have a different item on special. At the end of the special period (Today), they select a winner and one lucky person gets to take home a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab! Hmmm sexy….

I am quite kitted out when it comes to hardware and toys, but one special grabbed my attention. R50 for a pair of headphones with a mic!? HAIBO I said to myself! This can’t be true! They must want me to come in store so that they can kidnap me! Then I saw that I could order online so I felt safer!

So anyways, I called a couple of my mates and told a few guys at work, and next thing I knew I was placing an order for 15 headsets! This was actually the second special for the day after their Xbox Arcade for R999 special flew out of stock within two hours! So two specials on one day and for only R50? I was lank impressed!

So I called ahead and made sure that they had stock of such a large order after it being at such a low price and they did. They kept my 15 aside for me and when I walked in, they were ready and waiting behind the counter! BAM!
