Well it’s that time of year again, and being the sucker I am for The Apprentice, I dutifully tuned in.

I’m not going to make any in-depth analyses yet or try to work out who’s going to succeed, but overall I was impressed with the calibre of the candidates, and think this could be a better series than the last one. I’m just waiting for the chaff to be cut and to see some meatier tasks dealt out.

With all things business on my mind, this morning provided a jaw-dropping but utterly brilliant revelation regarding a personal project, which means I’ve been glowing from ear to ear all day. I can’t talk about what this means exactly, but I can’t thank a certain friend/accomplice enough. He knows what he’s done and he’s been driving a Spitfire this afternoon.

A sour story broke today involving a couple of widely known figures from the web industry. I chose not to comment in the public discussion because I don’t really think airing this type of personal grievance in their professional world will benefit either party in the long run (although somehow, I think that might be the point). In the past I’ve have had very limited but positive contact with both people involved, and holding nothing against either of them, so only hope and wish that both people find their way through this troubled time.

Like always, buses arrive in dozens and today has seen them queuing up one after the other. With two weeks to go until my departure, I’m having to be very diplomatic about my workload and have been reluctant to over-promise myself to too many causes. The next few days are going to see more scaling up and hopefully I will start to see closure on the remaining commitments I have.

Finally congratulations to Sean who bagged himself a new job, Sister Two who picked up her school prize from Hagley legend Lee Sharpe, Swan for finally getting to a job interview and DeVito for reaching a new level of computer-literacy.

Also, hello Mike. Sorry I forgot to mention you before, you facebook terrorist.
