You're Not Going to Believe This Monday July 5
The blog's been off for two years. Even during the last four years, I was barely posting, barely writing, and barely producing anything of interest on this space.
Between 2006 and early 2010, I worked for a company. Full time. I gave a lot of my time, a lot of my energy, and I met some fantastic people (some of which are now my business partners, and my girlfriend). So, I can't complain: I did well.
But, life in a salaryman's job doesn't really help one get around to writing. Oh, sure, I wasn't really committed to writing anyway, but I can also say that the lifestyle in Tokyo doesn't really support it, either. There's ALWAYS something to do, and blogging requires commitment. When you get free time, that's when you're Doing Something Else You Should Have Already Done.
Also, from May 2009 to present, I was setting up a company while working full time, and with a girlfriend. Priorities, priorities. I had no weekends, which is primarily when I wrote. Also, from May 2008 forward, I managed a team, which was a lot harder than just working by myself. Enough excuses.
Here's a brief update; I've decided not to kill this blog for now.
- I started my own mobile development company with 2 former coworkers. It is called Long Weekend LLC, and I implore you to go over to that site and find out why. I blog regularly over there, because in the new future, or at least the future of our company, there is no work, and there is no play - there is only life. So I keep it all over there. A blog about lifestyle design.
- I briefly left Japan and visited Australia, next I'll be visiting Europe, Japan again, the US, Japan again, and who knows. If you want to find me, e-mail me. It's always been the best way, and my e-mail address has not changed for seven years. Or use the aforementioned company website.
- One day, I'm going to repost the archives from 2002-2005, which were some of my most prolific, and excuse me, funniest writings. I took them down because I got a Real Job, and I thought some of it wasn't appropriate. I was right. But at the same time, I'm now designing a lifestyle where that doesn't matter any more.
