My digital world

I'm waiting to get a new smart camera phone during the summer so I can snap pictures of stuff that happens during the day and add it the blog each time. There's a new Nokia N97 I like the look of, the Palm Pre looks good too. I don't think I'll bother with a new iPhone. It's a nice piece of kit but it's missing a nice camera.

I'm going to through a bit of a web phase. I'm looking at all the google tools each night, trying to convince myself on how I could employ them in my everyday life... I guess this blog is part of that phase too but I am hoping I can get it going into something interesting for me to look back on maybe also for others to see how I'm getting on, particularly family and friends back home that i don't get to see very often.

I'm reading a lot of www.techcrunch.com and www.engadget.com

I don't think I'll let too many people know of the blogs existence until I really get it up to speed. I'm trying to stay with the times and have a digital home, facebook is ok, but it's a bit to pop... a blog just seems like a bit more of an interesting way to do it... I can maybe make it a bit more unique and less of a crowd follower.

I saw a friends blog the other day. I thought it looked very cool. He wasn't trying to write about some existentialist views about the inner conflicts of a donkeys mind when confronted with religion... it was a very simple and fun diary of each day... nothing too personal... very light hearted. I think I'm going to try and go that direction (at least until I pick my own).

I came across another blog too... www.randomwire.com. I have no idea who's writing it... some english guy that lives in Shenzhen. That's the connection... anyway I'm definitely going to have a look at it and see his views on the Shenzhen. He has links to his flicker website with really cool pics of Shenzhen... the best I've seen on the new... expect me to rob loads of them and put up here.

Nothing too much happened in work today... my new years resolution to smarten up in work is not getting off to a good start. I didn't get till 12! But, the good intention is still there. I did sign up to the gym though. We've gotten such a good deal we've been asked to keep it secret from all other members. they'd freak if they new we got it for less than half of what they paid and we get this month free! I'm bringing in my gear tomorrow. I have some clients in for the day that i might have to bring for dinner but if I can I will go to the gym.

After tomorrow I should know a lot more about my new job opportunity. The client is in tomorrow to work with us to nail down some terms of business. I'm pretty excited about. It's going to come with a wider scope and a lot more accountability and responsibility than I have now, particularly on the numbers but I'm excited about the challenge. Hopefully I'll get paid a bit better for it.
