Who Is Blaze?

Hi my name is Blaze, this has been my name since birth.

Business Life

I am an entrepreneur from Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia and I run a design, marketing & advertising consulting business. We do web design, graphic design, online marketing, direct marketing, advertising and a lot more.

I am branching out in my spare time and creating online presences and I have a lot of ideas for a Web 2.0 “style” (for lack of a better word) of business that I will launch when I get a chance and I have some extra money under my belt (I don’t believe in Venture Capitalists).

I also have a few projects that I am willing to tell you about.

My daily reading on the net includes:

  • Seth Godin
  • FastCompany
  • TechCrunch
  • TrendWatching
  • Engadget
  • Wired
  • Ask Yahoo!
  • Advertising Goodness
  • …and A boatload of mp3 blogs

If you require any work or consulting services, or just want to chat, drop me an email sometime.

Personal Life

Love: cars, i have speed running through my veins. (I may just settle for a Koenigsegg CCX.)

Love: music, making it, mixing it & listening to it. It is my true passion.

Love: design & respect creativity.

This Blog

Why do I post this blog? Maybe just to muck around and to have a website. Maybe to actually post some very interesting articles (maybe not quite change the world ;)) … to be honest I don’t really know yet. It’s a working project but I hope you enjoyy  our stay.

    just curious, why are you anti venture capital? i think the only way to start a serious enterprise is with a lot of capital. unless you have it, you need to get someone to invest their money in your idea. even if you did have a ton of money, why risk your own money?

    maybe this will change in time but my ideas at this stage probably wouldnt gel with that of a VC’s anyway.

    Given that your name is a homonym of Blaise, have you ever asked whether it was inadvertently misspelt?

  6. blaze on November 6, 2006

    Tony, both Blaze and Blaise are in the name dictionary. No it was not mis-spelt. Blaze is merely a more modern way of spelling Blaise. I think I prefer it this way too ;)

    Hey, thanks for the post about my contest entry. I thought it was a good one too! ;-)

    I see you’re from Australia; I have it on good authority that Oz is a great place to live. Cheers!

    There is a bulletin that you type in your first name followed by needs in the google search engine then you copy what it says and some are very funny.. blah blah… anyways.. I saw this site and I thought it was interesting that your name is also spelled the same as mine.. I just happen to be a female with red hair so it works for me but most people think that I am lieing when I introduce myself…. I don’t know why I think you care about any of this or why I am even telling you but thats what blog things are for.. a bunch of meaningless nonsense… Well Blaze Have A Great Day!.. Blaze

    Hey buddy, I live in Sydney Australia and own the only Koenigsegg in Australia. It is a black CCR but I do have a CCX arriving in FEB 2008. I am also the Australian distributor for the Koenigsegg. If you happen to come to sydney drop me an email if you want to see 610KW of brute horsepower. My email is carl_trad@hotmail.com

    Cheers carl
