It’s all been quiet on the Micro National front, did you miss me?

Probably not. Currently this site has about three readers (including my mum, thanks mum) and to be perfectly blunt, doesn’t truly merit any more readers, until I remove my thumb from the orifice in which it is inserted, and actually create meaningful content.

December flew by, as Decembers have a tendency do.  I hope that you had a great Christmas and New Year time? Mine was a bit of a shaky start on a personal level, one of the reasons I kind of laid off blogging for a while. It steadily improved though, with some nice quality time spent with my family, my little sister flew in from the UK for two weeks, and I even got a couple of days away (from everything; home, work, sanity) on the ski slopes.

I then had a pretty hefty project, for my day job, of moving our office into a new location. You all know the pain that comes from jobs like that; packing and sorting, followed by lifting and lugging. Then followed by trying to find a new home for everything and plugging in-numerous things into each other, hoping desperately that they will all talk to one another as they did before.

Then there were the conversations. Late at night, face to face over a beer or via Skype, meaningful conversations with people who I respect hugely (people who mean something to me) about concepts and ideas that have been fermenting for long enough now. 2009 is the year to start making some of these projects happen.

Micro National, both the site and the concept (as I see it anyway) is intrinsic to those projects. There seems to be zero doubt in anybody’s mind that we are entering a new era. The concept of teams of like-minded individuals coming together in order to make projects work,  seems to be gathering its own unique inertia. Commercially focused but not built upon the same business foundations as the business entities that have come before.

2009, the year of the Micro National.
