Maximize!

<< I got to see a lot of this logo this weekend thanks to this man>>

.. and I’ll be whizzing in for a freshly baked muffin because of their Blogger’s Promo (thanks to Dave – we ARE a market segment!). You’re a legend bru ;-)

Thanks to Dave’s underground microbranding strategy, Caffeine has shot up WordPress’ fastest growing blog stats to 33rd globally. Excellente. I’m particularly stoked ‘cos their shop is a few metres away from my office (which I share BTW with a brilliant German designer Kristoph with a wicked sense of humour – so if you ever need a website designed or fresh brand face he’s deep in the trust network!).. so I’ll be delighted if it attracts a rockin’ crew because I’m missing being in the heart of town.

Caffeine was a Barcamp sponsor which is why their logo got emblazoned on my memory and consequently coming out of my fingers today I reckon. [Dave's underground tactics clearly doing their job!] But I was thinking about the coffee industry generally.. and feeling a bit glum that South Africa has not 1 single Starbucks! (starting to feel a bit like that geeky-kid who is always the last to be chosen). I owned a coffeeshop in the beautiful Hout Bay, Cape Town where I fell in love with the speedy bean.. (see pretty picture: this is where I spent 2years learning how to love connecting with people & met some true treasures).

Geeks LOVE caffeine, check out ThinkGeek’s online store if you ever doubted it! ..and at last it appears, Caffeine is loving us back! oooh yay>> wanna come in for a coffee baby??
