Happy New Year, everyone!
After an incredibly hectic (but enjoyable) pre-christmas rush and the inevitable post-christmas bout of flu I am ready for a shiny new year. I’m feeling very optimistic that 2004 will be a good year, it even looks nice, doesn’t it? 2004.
2003 was a good year for Firebox (work) and we are all very excited about the possibilities for 2004. I am particularly looking forward to trying to stretch my wings in new areas - my goal for the year is to invent something cool enough to sell on Firebox. Preferably in vast quantities. I mean, how hard can it be? I may well record my ideas on this blog, unless they are really good, in which case I’m keeping schtum until I get lawyered up and get the NDAs sorted. In short, I hope to start the long process of transforming myself from a ‘web designer’ to an ‘entrepreneur and inventor’ (who does some web design on the side). I’m not fooling myself that it will be easy to imagine, design and get built a desirable product or gadget - I don’t have much knowledge of product design, for example, but I’ve always thought that I could think up some funny, silly or maybe even useful and life-improving gadget which would make me meelions of dollars, and now is the time to find out if I have what it takes. Even if I fail miserably, I’m sure it is going to be a hell of a lot fun trying. Hee hee, I get to be a mad inventor. How cool is that?
I hope you all have a marvellous , happy, healthy, fulfilling, creative, invigorating, relaxing, and hassle-free new year.
