On my trip to Cape Town last week for the Premiere I was fortunate enough to have timed it to coincide with the Silicon Cape Networking event, the Netweb Event and the 27Dinner. However my timing sucked in that I missed the biggest party in Long Street, Cape Town by 5 days!

At the Netweb event I met Fraser of Absolute Magazine – a hip luxury metropolitan lifestyle online magazine. He liked my matchstick business card, and when the one matchstick Movie went live, he and Warren listed it in the magazine.

They got double the amount of views in the first day of the movie listed in their magazine, than YouTube got. So they challenged me, saying they bet they'll get more views than YouTube. Ooohh!

I'm always up for a challenge, so I took them on! We're going to see which listing of the onematchstick movie has the most views by midday Friday 11 December:
The local Absolute Magazine listing OR the YouTube listing.

So help me out. You decide where to view the onematchstick movie, and either go to Absolute Magazine (and I'm not going to help you with a link here to the page to make it easy) or, even better, go and be a true fan to ME and view the listing on YouTube here by clicking here so I win this challenge (I've made it quite easy to go to YouTube here to see the YouTube one matchstick movie - just with one click here you'll get there- easy peasy). And while you're there watching it quickly (it's only 4:51 mins), leave a comment or rating :)

Also let your friends know about this challenge, and get them to choose (the YouTube listing here, of course!)

;)

Thank you!

Here it is...

Voting for the official onematchstick T-shirt ended yesterday.

10 designs were submitted, and by golly - each one was unique and brilliant! I want to write more about each of the designs over the next week or two, but for now, a big THANK YOU to all the designers who took part and came up with such creative and wonderful designs. Thank you!!


The top 2 designs were so close to each other, so very close!

It is with great delight that I announce that the winner is Tu's design entitled Mission: NOT Impossible.

So, so close behind this design was Caric's design called Fire works.

Congratulations Tu- you've won the Prize worth R5300, including the R1000 to spend on bidorbuy.co.za

TRADE DAY- 18 September 2009
Today is also the day I've coined "T-shirt Trade Day" and it marks the final stages to my tenth trade. I've received 116 pledges from people saying they will trade with me for one of the 375 springleap.com T-shirts. So I'm looking now for 259 more people to trade with.

The official onematchstick T-shirt is now available as one of the T-shirts to choose from to trade with me. This T-shirt is about to go into production, so if you choose to trade with me for the official onematchstick T-shirt, delivery will take a few weeks. But don't let that stop you- it's an AWESOME T-shirt. And there will be a very limited number made, so this is your only chance to own one. There is also going to be a limited time that this T-shirt will be available too- so you better move fast if you want one.

Back to Trade Day. The 116 people have been patiently waiting for today to trade one of my 375 T-shirts for some of their cash. They've needed the official onematchstick T-shirt to be available, and also the special CODE. So here it is, what you've been waiting for - the code that you need to use in the "coupon" section on springleap.com when you make your purchase, so that Springleap.com can track the sales that are to be counted for my 10th trade on onematchstick, is:

Ha! Would it have been anything else? Remember though, that the code is case sensitive- so make sure you use all small letters and one word.

Contact me when you've made your trade so I can track the progress with my 10th trade. And email or call me on 0837302979 if you have any queries

Thanks!

Again, Well done to Tu! Check out the official onematchstick T-shirt here.

Thanks also go to the fabulous team at Springleap.com for running the competition for me, and to the super duper sponsors for the Prize, being bidorbuy.co.za, springleap.com, and poken.co.za
