It has been too long. I have moved twice and got a new job in Beijing... excuses for not blogging are not reasons to not blog, there is no reason not to blog. That aside, life has taken a sharp turn. From artist in residence to leading a digital team in an entertainment company. I am building websites, doing social media strategy and generally making a nuisance of myself at DMG. I have hired 3 talented, amazing people and am looking for more. All is going well. I have also moved into a Traditional Chinese Courtyard house in the centre of Beijing.
