Besides last night’s post about HTML5, it has been a while since I have blogged anything, and I am almost starting to sound like one of those apologetic bloggers who takes a moment to say sorry to their non-existent readership, though you can rest easily at night in the knowledge that by reading this very sentence you join the hallowed throngs of a number of thousand every month who pass their eyes over my ‘distinguished’ words!
Lots has happened in the last 2-3 months, from quitting my dev position at Stink Digital and taking 4 weeks off, to joining up with the tech team over at BrightTALK and heading up the front-end team there. Nicest of all, betwixt those ‘great’ events in my life, I took a trip to Barbados and enjoyed the sun, sea, surf and great food.
Work life carries on as expected, with the occasional flourishes. Projects I have worked on last year continue to do well and win awards, according to ex-colleague and lead flasher at Stink Digital, Ian MacGregor. Carousel (aka Philips Cinema 21:9) picked up a Webby and Gold and Silver at the One Show Interactive Awards, as well as being nominated for the 2010 D&AD awards.
Meanwhile, the joy of starting a new role is the pleasure of having to learn new tricks understand new methodologies, and in the case of BrightTALK, test, test, test! I think I have heard the word used more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the whole of the last decade. It’s great because this is yet another position where I can step up my game, something that I love and strive to achieve.
Anyhow, plenty is happening and it has been a great little while. I feel much refreshed and with all the new things to learn, and having dispatched with all the hangers on who more often than not just want something for nothing, I am more than ready to kick proverbial anus. Time to focus energies on myself, even if it means I can’t help deserving causes too =( and they know who they are.
Okay, well over and out for now, and for those of you who are wondering? The picture is off the wall at the Rivington, my fave resto in Shoreditch.
