Three years of The Future of the Web
Apr 6 2008Three years ago today, I wrote my first post. I was just about to move to Berlin and was looking for a new job.
A lot has happened since then. I started freelancing a year later, and I couldn't have done it without this site. 100% of my clients come directly through my "hire me" page.
By the time this blog turns four, we should be living back in Canada, and I might set up a web development agency (in an office!)
That's enough about me! What're you guys up to these days?

@Oliver - actually I'm from Barrie, and that's where we're probably moving back to. Just a stone's throw from Ottawa I suppose :)

I can't believe I haven't stumbled across your site before now. After just a few clicks I instantly subscribed to your feed. It's to bad to hear you are leaving Berlin, our stories are almost identical. I also moved to Berlin after meeting a girl and have been doing web design here for a few years.
You're site is great and feel free to get in touch if you ever want to throw back a couple frosty "hefeweizens" before you leave town!
Again great site and take care.6. web pixy at 12:50pm on April 29, 2008
Well, congratulations on that! Seems like you've managed to succeed all by yourself and that deserves some respect. Keep up the good work!

jesse; you deserve all the good stuff. top notch bloke this guy - consistently helping me out with stuff on the js side of things even when i don't know what i'm going on about myself half the time.
i know a few english friends who aspire to move out canada-way so it must be doing something right over there. all the luck dude! been meaning to reply to your email, busy time of year for me, but want to do it justice.
