I guess it was inevitable that at some point my desire to keep blogging here would start to falter. The 7th of June will not only mark 4 years of married life, but also 4 years of blogging at nathanpitman.com.
More and more time is being consumed by the business as we strive to find new ways to take on more work and look towards developing ‘something’ which ultimately will give us the stability to expand. There seems to be increasingly less room in my head for my personal site and in my heart ‘“Nine Four”:http://www.ninefour.co.uk’ is where I am now, nathanpitman.com is from an era that has seemingly passed.
Now, I’m not saying that this is my last post. Far from it. I’m sure I’ll be pimping the new addition to our family here when s/he arrives but as you may have noticed from the archives, content has been a little sparse over the past couple of months, to be truthful, it’s nose dived, and the quality has always left something to be desired so, well… makes me wonder if it’s worth it.
Perhaps without my personal site gnawing at my ankles for a post I’ll be able to find the space to pull together a website for the business and really begin to make the most of the opportunities that are presenting themselves.
So, without further ado, subscribe to the feed and feel free to wander off elsewhere, and accept my apologies for the severe lack of updates over the coming months.
Today it’s my Birthday, I just turned 29. 1 year closer to the big ’3 – 0’ and yet somehow I still feel like I’m young and have the whole of my life ahead of me, which I guess in actuality, is true!
My loverly wife went out and bought me something which I’ve being umming and ahhing over getting for months, an Xbox 360. Before today I had always been pretty loyal to the Sony brand, having owned a PlayStation the day they arrived on these shores and following that a PS2. I actively despised the first Xbox for it’s appalling aesthetics but the 360, well over the months since it’s launch it’s looks and its’ feature set have grown on me.
In many ways the decision to finally go out and get a 360 has been fuelled by the somewhat disappointing approach that Sony seem to be taking with the PS3. Yes on paper it might have more oomph that the 360, but I can’t help but feel that Sony are already playing catch up, and the impression I get is that they’re floundering a little under the pressure.
The PS3 will launch come November and will most likely be the most fantastic console to ever grace retailers shelves. But factor in the entry price, and consider whether Sony can really pull off the whole ‘Live’ experience to (and beyond) the standard which Microsoft have set. One things for sure, competition in the marketplace is good for us players, it’s certain to push our respective chosen brands to give us that little bit more.
Oh, and my gamer tag is ‘ninefour’ is you fancy kicking my ass at PGR3. :)
To think that she’s already been in my life for 2 years is just mind blowing. On one hand it hardly seems like yesterday that Jo and I first set eyes on her, whilst on the other there are just so many fantastic memories, it’s hard to believe that all those events could have taken place in such a short time.
Happy Birthday from Jo and I to our darling 1st daughter. We hope you enjoyed your day as much as we did. :)
