Happy new year, and welcome to the future!
Aye, I will probably make some sort of future themed reference every time we click up a number on the old year-o-meter, but it’s only once a year, or twice, if you really think about it too much.
The past year was interesting and exciting, from doing work experience at Channel 4, to getting mugged, to seeing the next president of the United States, in person. I can’t say it hasn’t been eventful.
The future is an uncertainty, as I’ve proven with the past year, anything can happen. So we’ll see, have a great 2009, you deserve it.
A Brighter Day will Come
I do listen to Adam Curry who says that it doesn’t matter who anyone votes for in the U.S. election, because we’re all screwed anyway, but I’m certainly of the opinion that Obama is going to make the best of the two candidates. This vid is a great example of design and typography too so, enjoy:

Clinton’s Law of Politics…
Awesome.
Will Smith: I am Scientologist
Apologies for my Apple Display rumour mongering, it did turn out nobody much cared, even when I tried to push it on some forums, so I’ll have to try harder to find a better story next time… anyway I thought it was important to inform you of some news concerning one of a lot of people’s favourite actors…
Yep, you got it, Will Smith is now a Scientologist, I found this out to my shock on the Colbert Report…
All I can say is everything I’ve heard about scientology is bad, so this can’t be good. As a bonus, here’s South Park’s summary of what Scientologists actually believe.
By the way, I did the poster, and I’m not so keen on Will Smith anymore.

Quick Review of the Year: 2007
Well the year is almost complete, and it’s a time to look back. This year has been one of major changes, without a doubt the hardest going to university.
This year I’ve done a few exciting things, like going on a boat and being filmed on the local news. I saw my elbow on local television, you can’t get much better than that.
Celebrity Spotting
Now I can’t entirely be sure if I saw all of these this year, but I’ve racked my brain to try and remember what celebrities I’ve seen in real life this past year. Here we go.
others included Chemical Brothers, Rob Da Bank, Joanna Lumley you know, the usual.
I’m like the youngest in my year, which means I’ve always felt a little left behind, but at uni, my flatmates are all around 20+, my best friend is 20 (due to having taken a year at art college, which I would have done had they not been vindictive prats), though I’m sure most of my class are my age, perhaps it’s best I don’t find out.
You know, I started this with as grand plan of this being the length of Genesis, but it’s 2008 now, and I think it’s ok, thoughts?
