Twitter Weekly Updates for 2011-08-07

It's Pecha Kucha time again. Tomorrow night at the Assembly. If you've not been before, you're missing out http://bitly.com/d2d1dF #

We have another group buying website on the scene. This one is targeted at parents, offering deals for kids http://bit.ly/qabOYh #

Just received a bottle of the Haute Cabriére 2011 unwooded pinot noir. Looking forward to opening it soon. #

In just want to let the universe know that this is going to be a very productive month. Hopefully. Pretty please. #

I've added 4 sites & 3 aggregators to my list of group buying sites this morning. Will it ever stop? http://bit.ly/l9z7wO #

Tested Google's just released voice navigation for Android this morning. It works well, adding another very useful function to my HTC Flyer. #

I see that Clover's long life milk is rBST free, while the equivalent products by Parmalat & Dairybelle are not. #

Further to my tweet about fruit juice companies lying about the additives, 1 company claims honesty http://twitpic.com/5ztgwg #

Later I'm attending a talk presented by the Cambridge Resilience Forum on policy instruments to move SA to a low carbon economy #interesting #

Aug is the final celebrity chef pizza at Col'cacchio, by Neil Jewell. Lentils, roasted pork belly, smoked mozzarella and tomato marmalade. #

This is not a good day. My Blackberry switched itself off during the night and now will not switch on again #massive #fail #

It turns out my charger was not plugged in properly so my Blackberry had no juice. The relief is far greater than the embarrassment. #

I'm excited that Blackberry has released their new range of phones and v7 of their operating system. Upgrade time soon http://bit.ly/nCHDI6 #

Planning your weekend? I'd recommend checking out the Robertson Slow Festival http://bit.ly/atPV9R #

Alternatively, the Hermanus Food & Wine Festival is also on this weekend http://bit.ly/qh6jDP #

Interesting article in yesterday's Business Report re hugely negative impact Walmart has had on Mexico, a lesson for SA http://bit.ly/ntVSCn #

Looking forward to checking out the completed Jason's Bakery a little later. Finally I'll be able to enjoy bacon croissants in comfort. #

A little preview of Jason's Bakery for you. We had some tasty treats tonight, a good start http://twitpic.com/60fnf4 #

Look what I found #jasonsbakery #urbanforaging http://twitpic.com/60igx9 #

I like this funky wine range called Cardinal. Available at #jasonsbakery http://twitpic.com/60imlg #

Don't tell anyone. It's 1am and I'm still at #jasonsbakery with Jason and Judd the Deluxe coffee guy. Not sure why I haven't… #

RT @monsterinmydraw Tomorrow is World Beer Day. Hooray! I'm gonna get my Keg on! #

Apologies for lack of posts on Relax with Dax lately. Real work is hectic right now, so you're going to have to Relax without Dax for a bit. #

I'm sad that Brio is closing, but I'm looking forward to my goodbye dinner there on Friday night. #

This will come as a big surprise, another group buying site waiting in the wings http://www.mommydeals.co.za (via @jessello) #

I had the new pulled pork & poached egg on croissant breakfast at &Union this morning. It was superb. Definitely my breakfast of choice now. #

If you're thinking about going to the Robertson Slow Festival this weekend, maybe my review of last year will help http://bit.ly/9OTYBM #

Tonight I'm attending the opening of Toro wine lounge & aperitivo bar at the old Cape Quarter http://bit.ly/n23RA6 #

RT @grandafrica We have BIG news… Grand Café in Camps Bay has officially reopened! Swing past and take a peek… #

Interesting feature of buses in CT, they seem to stop any place you ask them too. Probably not optimal, but certainly convenient! #

I like this Toro place. Tasteful decor, good quality snacks & interesting wines. It's also perfect for small functions, birthdays, etc #

Why don't taxi companies take your phone number when you call? Then they can call you if they can't find you #irritated #

On a more positive note, while I'm waiting for the taxi I'm trying Vondeling wines for the first time and they are pretty good, and cheap! #

On a negative note, I'm still waiting for this damn Excite taxi… #

Taxi finally arrived and I'm now settled in at Brio. Avocado ritz starter has arrived and I'm enjoying this Klein Steenberg blend… #

One of the dudes from my table just got up and started drumming with the band. He's good! #epic #brio #

And apparently the lead singer of Arapaho is at our table too. We're working on getting him on stage… Stay tuned. #

Ok, so we have Arapaho dude on stage, but he's singing Rick Astley! #fail #

Apparently he's never gonna let us down, run around or dessert us… Talking about dessert, I'd like to look at a menu please. #

According to my intentions, I should be halfway through a gym workout right now. According to reality, I'm still in bed! #

Spending my morning at the Bay Harbour market in Hout Bay. It's pumping. So many good food options, I can't decide between them. #

Fire alarm just went off. Nobody even looked up. It was just the smoke from a braai, but how would you get people to move if it was real? #

Damn, I suddenly remembered there was some awesome looking biltong at the market and I forgot to buy some on the way out… #

Settling in at La Boheme, I really like eating here. #

Temporary vehicle velocity enforcement device in operation on Seapoint Beach Rd, toward town this morning. #

If you have a full spare tyre (as opposed to a biscuit) don't forget to check the pressure occasionally, so it's not flat when you need it. #

Two awesome home cooked meals today. I almost feel like a normal person. A very full normal person. #
