All those ex's

It's been a while since I've relived my days at Bite. And by relive my days at Bite I mean do a little extracurricular ex-client media monitoring. I know. I'm a complete nerd.

But the point really is that it was tough to go cold turkey after I'd been constantly on top of every move these companies were making. And while I did (emotionally, and a full 2 weeks after leaving NYC) delete their names from my RSS searches, every once in a while it's nice to check in. Honestly, I really liked my job. A lot, if you couldn't tell.

It all started when I watched ABC's 4 Corners special documentary on SecondLife last night. It got me reminiscing. Heck, even a few things happened "in-world" while I wasn't watching with a hawk eye like I used to. Apparently the real estate market is booming and somebody exploded a nuke. C'mon, it was bound to happen.

From the looks of things, all those ex's are doing swimmingly. The blogger affiliate scheme is up and running at www.net-a-porter.com. Jack is still jack at www.thebar.com. [Although, I did have to pretend to be in America to get into the site. My Australian brethren will just have to live without!] And AMD and ZTE are doing just fine without me, natch.

Meanwhile, my new clients are big oil and gas companies here in Perth. Quite a switch. Fortunately, I've been lucky enough to help out with a great fashion event that a friend of mine is putting on in Perth called Unwrapped: The Marketplace. It's a fashion and design marketplace tied in with a series of local Perth arts and music events happening over the next 2 weeks.

See, I'm actually a huge nerd, and now the secret is out. Like you didn't already know.
