I got up earlier today than I have in a long time, and I felt great! Oh, who am I kidding, I felt horrible, but thankfully I had a kick ass time awaiting me at my new job with Acumentum.

Having never been in a real 'office' environment before, the experience has been stupidly fun for me. Sitting down for the first time at my desk, grabbing a cup of coffee and working on something new is a great feeling, one I'm sure won't wear thin too soon.

I've taken the liberty of educating myself on some new tech lately - primarily because I will have some money to invest in projects for a change. With so many changes in my personal life, it seems like a great time to start diversifying my skillset as well.

The industry? Mobile development. Mobile web development, to be exact. Thanks to a few great blogs about the subject, I am now much more familiar with the state of mobile dev, including something that most web designers will be well versed in - limitations. Yep, the mobile web is at least 5 years behind the current desktop web, and the browser market is much more fragmented.

Thanks to open source libraries like WALL, less technical developers (like myself) are now able to make real write once/deploy anywhere mobile web apps.

I've got a few big ideas that I'll be chipping away at over the next few months as I continue to familiarise myself with the platform, so definitely keep your feed readers refreshing if you're interested in Mobile Dev.

I'm also going to start video blogging again, using the user friendly YouTube. I tested it a little while I was in Lennox Head, and had a good time doing so, and since upgrading my cell phone from the terrible Sony Ericsson k700i to the much more modern Nokia 6280, I now have a decent camera to record with!

So, some exciting weeks ahead. I'll report back when I have more info -- or something to write about.
