Hello, I’m back and rambling
If it weren’t for Robert Smith, no-one would be visiting this blog.
If it weren’t for a few glasses of wine, and, okay, a bottle of Tsingtao, I wouldn’t be updating it.
My enthusiasm towards the blog has waned of late, but not because of any great shift in mindset. Recently, I have been preoccupied with other matters to an unusual extent. And when I get home and sit down in front of my computer, I haven’t been compelled to write more.
Some hot news, though. I have quit my job as a reporter on Asia’s digital marketing industry, and soon I will be taking up a way cooler job that excites me no end. I’d love to tell y’all about it, but it’s too early days yet for the secret shroud to be lifted, so you’ll just have to wait another couple of months. Suffice to say, the job is right up two of my alleys, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. I also hope it can help make a difference.
In other news, my favourite hobby horse, Asia Sentinel, has been making more web-based bounds of late, including the addition of video, a mobile access point, hot new icons, and a pleasingly tweaked interfaced. Congrats to computer-dweller Andrew James for that.
And the Amazon Kindle: do I want one? Well, yes, I certainly wouldn’t mind giving one a spin at the beach. Between this, Amazon Unbox, the actually-revolutionary book-sale strategy, and DRM-free music, I’m starting to think that Amazon might be a quiet giant of the internet — not as sexy or titillating as Google, but a quiet achiever with seriously useful applications.
