I hit the ground running. No end of year celebrations as the start of the year brought setting up a retail presence at 7am!<\/p>\n<p>This blog has been around since January 2004. Eight years of constant ramblings. I&#8217;ve written a lot less in recent times, preferring to go short form and tweet instead. But I keep coming back here due to the permanent nature of writing on something that I own and control. <\/p>\n<p>I can now write on my phones, iPad, or laptop so I&#8217;m beginning to think I should focus on writing a lot more. Distilling thoughts. <\/p>\n<p>2012 is expected to be exciting. If the first week has anything to show for it, it&#8217;s going to be very little rest, but lots of fun doing tonnes of amazing things. Opportunities for growth are endless. <\/p>\n<p>2011 was awesome, in a nutshell. I should really look into writing a retrospective, but I&#8217;m too busy focusing on the present &#038; future. I travelled a lot, saw many new places, made many new friends, and really enjoyed quality time spent with the people I care about. <\/p>\n<p>As for this blog, it&#8217;s going to go back to becoming an activity log of sorts. Back to its roots 8 years ago. It will become more personal and dilution with posterous will stop (now to import all my previous content). <\/p>\n<p>2012 however is going to be the year I do experiments in new content &#038; media. So prior warning that if you&#8217;re on rss, there&#8217;s probably going to be more activity. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s to an awesome 2012. Make the most of your remaining 51 weeks. Remember to just do awesome stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Week 1 of the New Year. I hit the ground running.
