If you haven’t seen me on Twitter lately there’s good reason you may have assumed I loved Vietnam a little too much and stayed to live a life working in the rice fields. While that is a fair assumption, I am indeed alive and well. However, this blog is not.

I’ve come back to a new job as an Interactive Strategist at independent agency BCM. After one and a half weeks here, I am happy to say that it is a great environment, I am surrounded by some bloody smart people and a there is a really strong passion for creative yet responsible work. So for the next few months I am headfirst into this new role. Combine this with a bunch of personal goals and a greater focus on work/life differentiation… it doesn’t leave much room for Mr.Wanker.

Unless you haven’t seen a news site, checked your Facebook or been cornered by the resident IT geek, you would have heard about Apple’s new iPad which was launched today. In essence, it is an enlarged iPod touch with full book reading, Kindle killing features. And I admit, I am a little excited.

But have Apple missed the mark when it comes to Fanboys expectations?

After going on Christmas holidays and having as little online interaction as possible, it has been really hard to get back into. And I’m not alone. I have spoken to a number of people coming back to the real world who have vowed to spend less time living their lives online and living their lives… well, normally. This is where my resolutions begin.
