Thanks to the wonders of modern technology (cough) and a super fast broadband connection, I like many others in the UK today, will be watching the conclusion to Life on Mars (9pm, BBC One).
This is my third attempt at writing this entry. For the last month I have been feeling incredibly down, reflective and just damn right miserable. What started off as a regular reboot, prompted by the anniversary of my being here last year (and the comparisons that can be drawn), turned into a sad, sorry journey into the unknown, confronting old feelings that I never fully resolved.
Once again I write this blog entry sat on an aeroplane California bound having spent the last week back home in the UK. The official reason for my return was so that I could attend Future of Web Design conference in London, the unofficial reason just the need for a break from stateside living, and a chance to catch up with some sorely missed friends.
Two recent conversations have revealed to me my inner cynicism for web2.0 and all that surrounds me in the valley.

My first gig in a long while, and certainly bizarre in having to prove I was over 21 to get served alcohol (not sure I have encountered the higher age limit in the US until this point). The Warfield is a nice small feeling venue, in a great central location on Market Street. We got seats on the front row of the upper level, perfect for watching the Kaisers.

Whilst I was back in the UK, my friend Lee told me I should blog more about what I get up to. I think that sounds like a great idea1, and comes at a time when I plan on making the most of this summer here in California.
