I am a starter

Aug 05 2010 Published by Tyron Bache under Blogging, Business, Inspiration, Quotes

I was inspired by the short but awesome chapter entitled, “Be a starter”, from the brilliant 37 Signals book Rework.

I am a 23 year old web developer, blogger, I do what I love and I own property. I believe that I am a part of a new generation of young people who believe in themselves. It’s 2011 I can do anything I want, I can become who I choose to be.

To steal a line from an awesome poem:

“I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”

-Invictus

And you know what you can be to! You don’t need to go to varsity (I didn’t), you don’t need a MBA (waste of time unless you like following the herd) or lots of money (but that helps, I have enough to get by).

“You just need an idea, a touch of confidence, and a push to get started.”

Rework, page 28

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start something!
If you are young and have got something really cool started please show me, I’d love to feature you on my blog but if you have an idea and haven’t started it then don’t read anything else until you have.

Update on The Ranks

Aug 04 2010 Published by Tyron Bache under Music

So I thought I would put together a little update on my friends who play in the official “2nd best band in the world” – The Ranks. Neil, Brett and Dom have released Sky Mountain Brave and have a new myspace page ;) [I helped them with the myspace layout].

Sky Mountain Brave

This 5 track EP was released by Justice And Mercy Records and features the following songs:

  • 36th May
  • A Is for Ambulance
  • Adelaide
  • Superman
  • The Something Sailor (hands down my favourite track of theirs!)

Jonty from Lazerclaw did the stunning artwork, you can email Jonty Hurd.
You can purchase Sky Mountain Brave on itunes. Get it while it’s HOT!

Speaking of HOT you should go visit their revamped myspace page!

They also do some of the best vlogs (Video blogging) I have ever watched, like this one, that one and who could forget this one.

The will be playing next at EJECT in Pietermaritzburg. If you have a chance go check them out, support SA Music!

So where have I been?

Aug 03 2010 Published by Tyron Bache under Blogging

Busy is one way of saying it, although I think I just became bored of my blog. Bored of the way it looked and I think I lost the vision that I had for it and I wasn’t really blogging what I set out to blog about but that has come to pass. Let me tell you what I have done to try and light that blogging fire of mine once again.

I changed my hosting from Hetzner to Serve in order to save a few bucks. I changed my blog theme to Voidy, I was playing with the idea of creating my own but stumbled across Voidy one evening and I was sold, not literally as it was free but you know what I mean. I think sometimes in order to fill up your inspiration bucket you need something new. I imported all of my old posts so I now feel like I have something new/old, a new look but still with a a similar taste, clean, white and content focused layout.

I can’t wait to get back into my blogging and I am hoping to do more regular posts. I have got a whole bunch of really awesome content to blog about so keep your eyes peeled (love that idiom) and some new projects that I am working on to show you guys. Thanks for reading.
