Why me again?

I was the person of the day #0003 (May 30th 2009) and #0005 (June 13th 2009), and 36 people later, I decided to make it me again at #0041.

I didn’t have any interviews lined up this week, and figured I’d drop a post to let you know what’s been going on with me.

I’ve been working on way too many websites and projects lately that it’s been a little bit overwelming, but I think I’ve limited it down to the most important ones for now, and have it down to a science.

My newest website which is almost ready to be officially launched is called SocialFavors.com, check it out and let me know what you think.

Born and raised in Jamaica, in the Caribbean, I hope to give back something of great value to the island, the local Caribbean community and the worldwide Blogosphere at large by providing a blog that educates, inspires and makes learning and mastering the internet fun.

I’m also a blogger for BloggingPro.com and the new and growing Jamaican Technology blog Geezam.com.

My main business website is Creative Engine Jamaica – Web Design & Development, from here I offer services such as:

- Web Design and Development

I have mainly been serving serving the local Jamaican market and Florida and I’m expanding to the wider Caribbean and opening the doors to the world. If you would like a quote on any of these services or need some advice, feel free to contact me here.

As early as age 4 I have been obsessed with computers, back when we had 286 processors and MsDos. Over the years I have always enjoyed teaching others how to use computers, build websites, manage businesses and solve any problem imaginable. With this huge passion, I have decided to go online and offer advice and a wealth of knowledge through Sam’s Web Guide.

WordPress Person of the Day #0036


Name: Adriaan Pienaar a.k.a. Adii Rockstar

Country: South Africa




Click here to visit his website!


About him from his About page:

Adii Rockstar (born Adriaan Pienaar) is an entrepreneur, the co-founder of the very successful online startup WooThemes and a general creator of Rockstar Awesomeness. Along with being a serial entrepreneur, he is also a designer & developer (CSS, PHP & WordPress), which has spawned his other company – a boutique design & development agency – Radiiate.

At the young age of 25, Adii has revolutionized both his business and personal life. Back in 2007 somewhere, he decided to call himself a “rockstar”; so the rockstar-tag is very much a result of some subjective marketing on his side… Generally though he’s just Adii to all those who know him and it’s only online where the Adii Rockstar brand seems larger than life itself.**

Adii designs because he loves the creative freedom it affords him, whilst development appeals to his more logical side. But it’s for business that he’s got a real passion for and it’s within that space, where he is trying to “design” & craft his own future.

Due to Adii’s largely unique approach to both life & business, he is also currently authoring a book titled “Rockstar Business” which will be available in the second part of 2009. The book will be focussing on how to do business and how to revolutionize one’s personal life, as a Rockstar. Whilst the “rockstar”-tag is purely branding, the book will attempt to explain & democratize the concept as a more general one.

Asked to define this “Adii Rockstar” character, he said:

I’d define him as an entrepeneur with a sincere love for life beyond business, admin & working. I’m an adventurous kinda guy with passion for taking on challenges; and it is exactly this mindset that I believe has enabled me to own 2 successful companies at the young age of 24. I don’t believe in the traditional way of doing things, as these perceptions should be challenged; because that is what inspires innovation.
