So, I spent a few moments the other day looking back at the last year. I have had an EPIC last year.

I started the year working at Marmalade on Toast where I was working on various cool projects for the likes of Budvar & Harrods. Working on exciting projects. 

In April, A friend came up with an idea for Instagram. He sent me a Direct Message on Twitter. “Dude, Instagram + cats. Epic win!”. 24 hours later we had http://instac.at. On the first day alone there 10,000 more people joined my christmas card list. This I feel was the start of it all.

4 weeks later I left Marmalade to try the big world alone. I started working with some awesome clients, each of you were / are awesome. And have helped me to have an awesome time. I can’t list you all here, but you know who you are.

I started working on my own projects with various new ‘business’ / project partners each of which I would like to thank.

All the journalists and bloggers who have written about projects i have been involved in. This has been the first year I have ever had something I have been heavily involved in mentioned in the media. Especially the ones of you who called me a “UK based web guru” or a “modern day superhero”, even you commenters who called me a “fucking facist”.

All the people who have invited me to talk at their events. All the people who have taken their time to listen to my rantings.

My family & my friends for putting up with me being useless and uncontactable.

Especially Sophie, my girlfriend, for putting up with me being the worst boyfriend ever and for not feeling ignored when i get my head down in code all the fucking time ;).

All the people who have basically interacted with my life in anyway. Including you, the person who is reading this for putting up with me wasting their last 5 minutes by reading this christmas card.

I have seriously had an epic year.

I hope all of you guys have an epic 2012. 2012 for me is looking like it will be awesome thanks to all of you!

And for a bit of shameless self promotion. The projects I would like you to currently check out or keep an eye put for are: (let me know what you think, would love feedback)
