Work & Play

Ok, I'll admit it... I really love my job. I've got freedom (provided my butt doesn't leave my seat too often) and I'm fortunate to be able to challenge my mind in the field of software development.

It does worry me that the nature of my work consists of totally virtual things which end up having little effect on the majority of South Africans, but at least my mind isn't atrophying, hey?
I like to console myself with the fact that work isn't all that I do. I also play in a band Feedback which I love, and I long to attack the oligarchy of media ownership through setting an example for other indie bands out there, that we can make it big without the "major players": visit DownhillBattle for more info...
which brings us back to the central problem of this blog... namely, if everyone is so concerned about themselves, who is concerning themselves about everyone?
Friedrich Nietzsche - “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.”
