some guy in lebanon

I’m sitting here at work, crafting a document which represents the future of the Daily Star’s website, which will be submitted to several of the decisions makers here a the newspaper. I’ve just finished building a mockup for the new “Latest News” section, and I’m jamming out to Linkin Park in Beirut, Lebanon.

Me at the Daily Star Office

It’s hard to say I’m not loving this - It’s exactly what I wished I would, and should be, doing. Everything I’ve learned in terms of web development, business writing, consulting, and administrative team work, has lead to what I’m building right here - With a mission to re-establish the prestige and dominance of the Daily Star’s on-line edition. And don’t forget, usually when journalists and IT guys don’t get along, at least it’s because they’re speaking a different version of the same language.

And get this, true to form, I’m wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt and flip flops. Eat your heart out, Steve Jobs wannabes. While you’re worried you might have to get a job where you’ll have to get a suit, I’m half a world away clacking away on three computers at once.

The Dao that can be experienced is not true;
The world that can be constructed is not true.
The Dao manifests all that happens and may happen;
The world represents all that exists and may exist.
-Dao De Jing
