Aquila pronounced AK-weh-lah, uh-KWILL-uh or even a-kee-laa, means eagle in Latin. Just like the eagle, this blog is my “bird’s eye view” on situations or topics that I happen to come across in my life.

Lucky Number 27

// June 28th, 2007 // Blog Stuff, Geek Dinners // 16,814 views

Awesome, cool, funky, beauty, shweet, happy, joyous - I’ve run out of words to describe how stoked and delighted I am.  One could say even euphoric.  

Why you ask?  Well, thanks for that excellent question.  You see ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, geeks, jeeks and a special shout out to my Mom, it turns out that the folk at Zoopy have made their decision.

Huh? I hear some of you say?  Let me explain.  For some time now, Zoopy ran a competition – post a picture or video of any 27dinner event, upload it to Zoopy.com and voila you are entered to win one of two Sony DVD video cameras for the trouble.

As it happens the first of the two cameras were given away at the Cape Town 27dinner event and I am lucky number 27.  Yes folks, I was called by Gerry and Jason earlier this week to let me know that I had won the first video camera.  Awesome stuff.

Unfortunately due to a scheduled overnight visit to the local hospital this week, I was unable to attend the Cape Town chapter of the 27dinner event held last night.

However I was able to record a short acceptance speech prior to the event, which can be viewed on Zoopy of course.

Now you can really see and erm hear what I sound like.

*Note to self: remember to check the background “props” next time I record something…

   About six months I witness the wonder of videoconferencing when I was asked to deliver my lecture from my university to a high school via video conferencing. First I was thinking it was just a camera recording my lecture and will make the necessary editing to show the high school students but later I realized that I was interacting with the students live. Great technology
