Brendan — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 08:17:58 +0000

I’m captaining (and vice-captaining) the Magic FC – possibly the only goal re-enactment troupe in the world.

Official Site shows a slightly non-athletic team recreating goals by Maradona, Bergkamp, Pele and more.

Suggest new goals on the Facebook Page. Prizes include a Jabulani ball signed by Pele, and a jersey signed by Spanish captain, Iker Casillas.

The History of Sprinting and Jogging

Brendan — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 09:12:46 +0000

A brief history of running – going back hundreds of years to caveman days.

This is the kind of knowledge I could use to beat Usain Bolt. I’m pretty sure.

An Australian supporter is delighted by a missed Serbian goal in the final seconds of the Football World Cup.

Keeping my London Eye on Usain Bolt

Brendan — Fri, 28 May 2010 09:54:34 +0000

Bolt’s back and it’s a little disconcerting that he’s still quick.

He won the 200m in Shanghai, and just missed a 300m world record in torrential rain in the Czech Republic.

Being smart, I’m avoiding injuries and keeping my eye on the London Olympics. I call it my London Eye.

While Usain is touring the world, I’m preparing for one place. It’s a grueling work day, but this is what it takes.

From the vaults of time, back when teaching was the new Rock ‘n Roll. (Circa 2005)

Educating people isn’t as easy as it looks, but I still did it.

Private tutorials available on request. (Note: They can be quite pricey.)

There’s also an English tutorial here.

Texas, it’s just too far. Even for people from Alaska, San Diego and San Antonio.

Introducing a Social-Media-Music & Film-Festival-Conference in your backyard. It’s a pleasure.

The South by South West Rand will be hosted in sunny Roodepoort, with top speakers and coffee lined up.
