So this blog is a disgrace. A stain. A terribly neglected, cowering nothing of Interweb. And again, like times before, I promise to do better.
So why should this time be any different? Why should you, the reader, believe my promise?
Two reasons:
The first - I’m not working. Turner Broadcasting cut my department loose like a butterknife to the throat of an old, molting turkey. That is to say the goddamned thing is still dying a slow, absurd death.
And I couldn’t be happier.
In my unemployment I finished two side projects. The first was a new site for the incredibly talented Awesome Incorporated, and the second is a facebook application called SlideShowPro for Facebook. I recommend that everyone add it so they can create professional, free slideshows for Facebook.
And now to the major project, the one that I have a lot to write about. In what may be a somewhat severe reaction to corporate malaise I decided to serve myself a slice of adventure pie and joined an overland driving expedition around the world. The tour is currently in its second half, shipping two Toyota 4×4’s from the eastern hemisphere to the western hemisphere. I joined up with the crew recently here in Buenos Aires and I have to say - it’s going to make for some excellent reading. As soon as I finish re-working the site a bit we will be posting articles and stories. I will keep trip-related stuff on The World By Road and more personal observations here.
If you want something to tide you over until then, I encourage you to follow me - futuredarrell - on Twitter. I am managing to update that quite often.
