So how was 2005? It was a year of natural and man made disaster on a world scale, but personally, it had its ups and downs. Still didn’t do enough of quite enough things I’d like to do (mostly because of money), and didn’t do them with enough people (something I need to get back in the habit of), but still had some wonderful times, mostly revolving around Sallie and William, and made some moves for a better future.

Professionally, I have this awful feeling I didn’t get anywhere at all (a paycheck is a paycheck, sure, but that’s all it was this year) this year, despite my best efforts. But I do have an absolute realisation now - my own business is the only way to go, and it has to be a direction that requires as little capital as possible upfront. I’ve been reading volumes on web based business and the whole “Web 2.0″ world, and while that’s a massive generalisation, that is the way to go. I think it will also be my only significant New Year’s Resolution as well (or at least the only one I want to speak about here )

So have a good New Year wherever you are… stay safe, stay healthy… have fun and be successful (however you would define that).

Bring on 2006…

Well, it was a bountiful Christmas this year if you were under two years old…

Merry Christmas from William, and Stephen, and Sallie

I really can and should post more here, I know… always try to be busy, always try to be relevant. New plans happening now though…

(Actually… my post count hasn’t been too bad recently. Not BoingBoing level prolific or anything, but there’s been a few…)

These guys went from doing comedy videos online to scoring a gig on Saturday Night Live. And this is good - see why below:

(To add - it’s the first time I’ve tried this embedded player thing - and it seems to be a really good idea )

The story is everywhere, but it’s hysterical…

This woman needs to be locked away, mainly to prevent her from ever, ever breeding…

“In an unusual case of mistaken identity, a woman who thought a block of white cheese was cocaine is charged with trying to hire a hit man to rob and kill four men. The woman also was mistaken about the hit man. He turned out to be an undercover police officer.”
