radelai.de
by Pippa ~ October 19th, 2007. Filed under: adelaide, making, radelai.de, technology, writing.Back in the sunless days when I lived in Finland, I started thinking an awful lot about how great Adelaide is. Then I realised that I only know a tiny bit about my hometown. I have my favourite parks, streets, beaches and cafes, but unless someone else tells me about something new, I rarely explore outside my comfort zone.
Being a geek I had an idea for a website about why Adelaide is so rad, so I bought a rather fun and cheap german domain about 6 months ago*. But I needed more content for this website than I could just write myself. So ultimately the plan kind of stalled…
Until this morning when I decided to finally design a very simple logo, and to actually get the radelai.de domain to work properly… [still waiting on this - my apologies, but i'd appreciate positive problem solving vibes to be sent this way...] … And now I’m all inspired again and hungry for content to put onto the web.
radelai.de : got balls? by Fighting Tiger.
Which is why I’m emailing you. I want you to help me with content for radelai.de.
What are your favourite things about Adelaide? Why do you choose to stay here or come back even though you’ve moved? When you’re entertaining visitors to Adelaide, what do you show them? Which deli makes the best bacon sandwich? Is there really a secret vat which makes the best tasting Farmers Union Iced Coffee? What are your favourite places in the hills and further afield?
So, are you interested? Have you and your friends got [metaphorical] balls?^
Articles should be between 100-500 words in length. If you can supply images to accompany written content that would be lovely. Over the longer term, video / podcasting content would also be sweet…
At this point of the project, payment is unlikely but notoriety and my everlasting gratitude is assured.
Yours,
Pippa xo

The mythical vat 54 does exist and resides in FUIC’s Tasmanian dairy, somewhere between Bernie and Launceston. The superior taste can be attributed to different climate (nothing like a southern cow), slight variations in the formula and that the vat 54 batches rarely find their way into SA shops and therefore only tasted by homesick Adelaidians when they have had nothing but Gary & Big M to placate their flavoured milk cravings.
radelai.de is a worthy cause pippa. Good luck with it.
