And so...after some good times and bad, the highs and the lows, the peaks and the troughs, the ups and the downs of this crazy rollercoaster ride we call IT journalism, the time has come to hang up my blog writing, um, boots. I know that metaphor didn’t really work, but sod it, it’s my blog and I can do what I like, right?

Yes it has been a pleasure spouting off about IT this last year, and seeing this blog rise to the heady heights of number one on the Google rankings (well, when you type in ‘IT Week blog’). Being berated by bicycle couriers, sharing my moment of fame with the Hoffmeister general, touring Samsung’s printing labs in downtown Suwon...ahh the list goes on, for a bit. It’s better this way though, my efforts are needed at IT Week on more serious endeavours, like Sneak, and soon, the terrifyingly exciting world of video. So maybe we’ll meet again on some distant web site in some far-flung corner of the internet, but until then, with tears, goodbye.
