Hey anyone,
I don't think anyone is really reading this anymore but just in case I thought I should let you know that I've moved on to something else.
Been playing around with Google Reader lately, throwing it up on my iPhone, mixing it up with Twitter feeds etc. There have been quite a few changes & improvements. I don't know if you've spent much time with it. I've loaded up quite a few RSS feeds which means I'm saving time (by looking at feeds instead of websites) when I want to waste time (instead of doing work).

On the topic of saving time I'll just be bookmarking/sharing my interesting links over there, plucking them out of my own digital river. Maybe some commentary & thoughts of the day. We'll see. You can even make the whole thing an RSS feed if you're tricky enough. Oh my, how meta.
My geeky prediction is that RSS feeds will be the new TV channels of the future, except infinitely more customisable and niche. Start playing around with Yahoo! Pipes & Google Reader. Start creating, swapping and customising your infostreams. Make this shit happen. Now.
See you on the river.
i just realised that the whole time that this thing is a tumblelog, not really a classical blog. Maybe that's why I kinda always felt like this thing didn't exactly fit in Vox. It worked well enough here but there were some limits & boundaries that were slightly annoying.
What are your favourite tumblelogs?
Also I'm thinking about finally getting a Twitter account. Recently got an iphone and getting sick of the facebooks. The status update feature is what I really enjoy using.
If you've got a Twitter account shoot me a URL and you'll be taken on a trip to the Blakeside.
In other news I've been to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Hollywood & LA over the past couple of weeks. Off to Beijing in a month which will be very weird.
Also... I want GTA IV!!!
peace out holmes
oh yeah and hey hey by the way I'm off to the Googleplex in a couple of days. w00t
What compliment are you most often given?
"You don't smell as bad as you used to!"
ok this is really just for my future reference.
Rolito just finished the art direction for the game Patapon which looks amazing. Nice abstract stylez.
I want this song to start playing in every bar I walk into tonight.
I just really wonder what possessed this guy to make this fan video. It's like karaoke...by yourself... in a garage.
Internets you continue to astound me... even on a Friday afternoon..
Hey peeps and anyone still out there,
Just thought I'd drop by and tell you my big news. I just got a job at Google!!! You might have heard of them. I'll be rocking the set as a financial Analyst for South East Asia.
To say that I'm excited would be the first entrant for biggest understatement of 2008.
This is quite literally the realisation of my ultimate geek dreams and things are only going to get geekier (how you ask?).
Because I'm in such a good mood and you guys are great I'm shouting you all unlimited free Google web searches. That's right! Go nuts! It's on me!
i didn't mean to return but boredom has dragged me back...
while we're both here why don't you stop and stare at your keyboard? I mean really stare. What's under each key?
Haunting ballads and dead comedians obviously.
it would be cool to see this with other language's alphabets, like hiragana, katagana, Tibetan, ancient egyptian, Hindi etc
this is how the new year began
Well my people all over the world... what a year
We've crossed deserts of boredom, climbed mountains of stress, fallen into abysses of pain and despair, weathered storms of rage, frolicked in waterfalls of giggles, and rested in glades of serenity all while accumulating valuable knowledge and experience in order to hand it over to our selves of next year. It's been a wild ride.
I've learnt a lot this year and I know there is so much I've yet to learn. I want to change and influence the world for the better. I want to build and create new concepts and I want to destroy lots of old ones. I want to meet new people from all cultures and not lose touch with old friends. I want to live life to the extreme awesome maximum in every possible moment and I want to grow.
I started this thing out of boredom in order to keep me awake and it's exceeded my expectations. I've been in contact with some cool people and even though we may never see each other's faces you have my friendship, respect and attention. I got yo back homies. Thanks also to the nameless masses who dropped on by as well. I hope you got even a microsecond's worth of enjoyment out of this.
It's a new year soon and everyone deserves a fresh start. Wipe your slate clean and try something different. That's my way of saying that this could be my last post. Who knows what is going to happen next year?
I would just like to say to everyone and anyone next year...keep your mind open and then expand it, see things from another perspective, learn, read, travel, dance, cook, listen, understand... be excellent to each other and above all...
never ever give up
Peace and much love to you all
