Bajan Hut is readying to partner with The-Trident.com to provide an enhanced blogging experience. Why? well more hands make lighter work so the team at The-Trident.com will keep us up to date as was intended (but not achieved) here. Also, with access to more resources both people and tech, you'll have richer content, juicier stories and more feedback and discussion.
So stay tuned as we complete the move
It's not everyday you get to meet TV stars but i got the opportunity to do just that yesterday as I sat down to lunch with Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge from Star Trek. Real name Levar Burton and his family are in Barbados on invitation from the organisers, Melissa Young and Omar Kennedy, of AnimeKon , Barbados' first pop culture event, which promises to be a riot this Saturday, June 26, 2010 – 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM
See you there!!!
its always good to see alternative 'news sources' popping up on the landscape and i know we all like to use available mediums to get the word out, but there is a line that needs to be observed by 'businesses' (i use the word business loosely here)
Now Barbados Today is not alone in their abuse of my personal comms channels, we have TellBarbados, CaribZoomZoom, ThisandThatBajan in the race as well, and it is becoming evident that there is some level of sharing (not sure if for profit or otherwise) of information between the different entities as they come about.
To compound the issue, when we use the 'unsubscribe' facility it doesn't work, and i have reason to believe that this unsubscribe button is being used for sinister actions aimed at disadvantaging competitors.
I wish to advise businesses that in their efforts to reach as wide an audience as possible that you do not allow yourselves to be blacklisted by the target audience before they even see your product. Some people put extreme care into protecting their contact details, and when these appear to be on the market to the highest bidder, a sense of betrayal envelopes the consumer, sealing off any potential business.
Good stuff
Another good show by DJ and Adrian. Tonight was
Andre Clarke and Mahalia Phillips from Mahalia's Corner Tuesday nights at
Bump and Wine Café, The City
for the second time Corey Layne (apologies for mis-spelling the name before)
along with some of the other guys from Nature Fun Ranch,
Am i the only person confused by this issue? is this truly rooted in a request by principal Jeff Broomes asking staff to verify their attendance at a Teachers Professional Day seminar or be marked absent?
if this is the case, and all i've heard so far points there, then it confirms all i've been saying for years. we continue to reward mediocrity, misbehaviour; and then we sit back and complain about the fall of society. if these are the examples being set to our children, how can we expect them to behave otherwise?
this is the same behaviour that permeates all aspects of civil service and is responsible for insane amounts of financial bleeding. it is almost embarassing to see the behaviour of this group.
Big up Tigress from The-Trident.com who receive a token from the
CaribFyah.com team for her participation online for the past year.
Tune in again next week when Kori returns to delve deeper into his efforts
to assist youth in Barbados to keep out of trouble and channel their
energies to positive activity.
Also, BMA 2010 is on this Sunday at the gymnasium with International artist
Fantasia along with numerous others
