How time flies. One minute it's 2010 and the next it's 2025. Nearly fifteen years between blog posts is pretty impressive even for me, I seem to have missed the part in blog class about engaging users by posting regular content. Reading my last post about the latest iPhone release (iPhone 4) brings home just how long ago this was. Then there is the post I made in 2009 about the prediction popular at the time, that the world would end in 2012, looking at my blog you would think it did. We would all agree that today's world is vastly different to that of when I was last posting, politically, financially and most importantly, culturally but, alas, these changes have not been for the better. World instability and political tension are now the main concerns. War has became the new normal after some years of relative peace. I would never have thought war in Europe would happen again, at least not in my lifetime. Maybe I was becoming less cynical in my old age, more trusting in humanity. What an idiot. The events of recent years have reconfirmed my initial stance on that subject, cynicism being the way to go to avoid disappointment in the human race's ability to screw itself over again and again, it's best just to expect it.
However, now is not the time to dwell on such gloom. I will move on to more important matters such as my realisation, upon returning to this long ignored blog, that it's looking rather dated (and not just because how old the posts are). Maybe it's time for a refresh, drag the look into the 2020s, change the graphics, update the font, fix the broken links to sites that have not lasted the distance and post a bit more frequently about Melbourne and living here...
