Just two weeks ago, an idea was born. i can't even remember where the inspiration came from actually but one day Character Stories for Children was not a thing and the next day it was. We have reached the end of our second week with 10 videos and two live stream Saturday morning shows under our belts. Character Stories has not been an overnight sensation. We haven't gone viral. And we don't have a [...]
Monday sees the premiere launch of our new You Tube channel: Character Stories for Children. And as my friend Hairyette [who will be reading the very first story] tells me, it isn't actually only for little children - big children, even those of the adult variety, might really enjoy it too. Every day, from Monday to Friday, a new character will be reading a story, saying a poem and maybe even singing a song. [...]
Do you have children who love Dr Seuss stories? Or maybe just any stories read out in a bad german accent and often shouted at the screen? Well, if this is you, you may just be in luck. My old friend, and alter ego, Erik [with a K!] who is known more for shouting people's favourite poems at the screen in bad german, is back. And this time he is armed with Dr Seuss... [...]
When i was living in Americaland for three years, i came up with a series of You Tube videos that i called 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' in which my alter ego, Brad Fish, would take a topic you would not normally consider dangerous - like ice-cream or camping or violins - and explain why it could be seen as a 'Dangerous Thing You Can Least Expect'... i was Suzelle DIY before she was [...]
We know that people love to make excuses for everything. But what if we were able to tune into the excuses that animals might make? How PUNderful would they be? Turns out very. Very PUNderful indeed. The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag [...]
Another Wednesday, another Hashtag game... well hopefully not just another hashtag game - we continue to do everything we can to make @AFrikkinHashtag stand out as a game that has that little bit of its own flavour and it's all of you that make that possible. This week my co-host, the incredible Kathleen Adams aka @KattFunny [and i'm not just saying that - take five minutes and go and read her incredible story of recovery [...]
Last week my internets was waging war on me and so i was unable to publish the F.L.O.P. list and so apologies for all of you whose brief but significant moment of Twitterdom fame was snuffed out. Today's game has a whole legendary crew of secret unofficial co-hosts helping me and so it should be a particularly fun and groan-worthy [on porpoise] one. But last week's game results are in and once again you brought [...]
This week's game focused on movies with #ImprovedMovieTaglines and with Christine Wonders [aka @googlegirl98] and Portmanteau Jones [aka @SadlyCatless] jumping in to perform co-hosting duties, we knew it was going to be a blast... and it was. Thank you to two wonderful, amazing and fun women who are kicking the butt cheeks of the Twitterer in the absolute best of ways. Was great to have you on board... MEET THE CO-HOSTS: Twitterer's Portmanteau Jones (@SadlyCatless) is a [...]
Last week was the second official week of the South African presence on the International Trending Hashtagging game app under the hashtag @AFrikkinHashtag [Say it out loud]. Despite it happening right in the middle of all the #FeesMustFall action, we still somehow managed to briefly trend in South Africa for the first time while also trending solidly at number 4 in the States. […]
Oh sure, you type LOL, but not while you are ever actually laughing out loud - you wouldn't have the stability... But in the meantime let's take some time out to appreciate five more quotes from my favourite actual LOL guy, Jack Handey: 'Don't ever get your speedometer confused with your clock, like I did once, because the faster you go the later you think you are.' [Jack Handey] 'One thing that a computer can [...]
