Not going to make a big deal out of this, because it'll only mean one extra click, or a little RSS tweaking, so, without further ado, I'll be hanging out here from today, onwards.

And boy are my arms...

Greetings. It's been a while. Pretty sure you thought my RSS feed was just gonna dry up, huh?

Alas, although there is truly no rest for the wicked, I did take a little break.

But I have news. Great news. So, hands up who wants to hear it! And if you can't wait, here's a little clue...

A big clue as to the whereabouts of me.

Feeling, like the prodigal son,

This is frightening.

Perhaps it's time we slow down?

Feeling, confused as to how we got to this, and unhappy about being a part of it,

Recession: Blessing or Curse?

So, y'all noticed the Credit Crunch?
Personally I think the whole mess could be quite easily alleviated.

It is, however, a great time to grab change by the nuts and TUG.
My market, the freelance creative hive, is drying up. As a result, I'm forced well out of the comfort zone.
Sleepless nights are good for one thing, at least: THINKING TIME.

You're forced to re-evaluate, a very interesting thing indeed.
Last night I was kept up by listing my top five companies to work for.
I ask a lot from whomever employs me, so it wasn't easy. Nonetheless, here they are:

5. Anomaly: An ad agency. Not an ad agency. I like it.
4. Google: If you've ever read The Google Story, you'll understand. Can you imagine if Google did global energy?
3. IDEO: Because design is a curious thing, and I like their ideology.
2. W&K Delhi: Because I'll get to see the frontline of an emerging global power. And skydive in the Himalayas.
1. Habit47 INC.: Because I like to work with people, not for them. And if I can't work with myself, I'm doomed.

Coming soon, my theory on the Ad industry, what it's become and what it needs to be.

Feeling, adventurous,
