It was a few months coming and should have gone up in early January, but I've finally completed and posted my review of the previous decade. Titled 'Noughties, But Nice' (click on link to visit review), it was originally intended for this blog but ended up being so long that it seemed to fit better on the Collected Writings site.
The review looks at the previous ten years (2000 to 2009) from a personal point of view and describes some of what I got up to in that time, backdropped with notable global events. I'm hoping that it serves as a full stop on that period and I can move on creatively to new works in the future.
I also created a couple of graphics to go with it, 'Noughties, But Nice' above and 'Social-ist' below. It was great to get my hands dirty on some graphics work again, even though I didn't really have time and they took quite a while to put together. There are full descriptions of the images over at the D1 Designs set on Flickr.
Do drop by to take a look, and let me know how the decade was for you. Any surprises? Big changes? Where were you on 9/11 or when Obama got elected? Do you feel more or less 'green' than when the decade began? What was your favourite music of the period? Is this next decade going to be a good one or a bad one - and why?
Happy reading...

Lovely stuff - a thoughtful, interesting and inspirational post from the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Definitely worth checking out on the Collected Writings site...
really ejoyable read - good luck for the next ten years!
You should post more often though
Thank you both for your kind comments - I'm always glad to hear feedback (particularly the positive kind!).
Anon, you're right - I do really need to post more often. The intention is there, I just have to clear the deck a little more for the time to be able to do it. Hoping to start ramping things up a little during the summer. Any particular topics you're like to read more about?
No specific topics, I like the political and musical posts especially when it is interspersed with personal tidbits. I am not so keen on the techie side just because I have no interest in that.
Don't listen to me though, I am nothing, write what the hell you like
I rarely get any comments from readers, so it's enlightening to know what goes down well on here. Glad to know that politics + music's a hit.
I'm likely to carry on with some of the techie stuff 'cause I'm into that as well (and I believe I have other readers that are too), but this'll certainly encourage a greater weighting on the other issues (and hopefully not put you off coming back)!
Please don't be influenced by my taste I am only one person and could be the only reader not into the techie stuff
Don't worry, I wouldn't do that! It's not possible to maintain a blog that suits everyone's tastes, so I tend to cover what interests me regardless. That said, feedback does show me what material is appreciated, which is always useful...
