This all raises the question of whether it'll be ok to like Phil Collins again soon.

Near HD on Youtube

Cool, let's all double Youtube's bandwidth bill...

Some things end

So after not blogging for a while I decided it was time to dust off the keyboard and get back to work.

The reason for the long break? At the start of the summer I went from being the second oldest man in the company to being the oldest ex-employee. Working for VCs can be tough...

Still it was good fun working for Blinkbox and we parted on amicable terms (or at least I think we did!). Sometimes you learn the most from the things that didn't go quite right, and I definitely learnt a ton while working there. So good luck to them. No, really!

Anyway back at work now after a summer of reflection and relaxation, and on to new challenges. New job is also in a great location near Victoria, which is I'm starting to find out fantastically close to some of London's most beautiful locations for eating lunch-time sandwiches.

Chicken and avocado on a bench in the autumn sun in St. James Park takes some beating. Bliss.
