Mark Cohen is a CIO at Australia's largest online retailer and is a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up, code-cutting geek. He lives in Sydney, Australia with his wife and boys and can sometimes be spotted puffing and panting as he runs at Maroubra Beach
All this fresh county air has has my boys running wild all day.
They’ve been bushwalking, playing at the dam, out exploring the huge
gardens, seed collecting, to the tea house for lunch and now on the
trampolines again. (look at the background in the photo)
When you spend some time far enough to not be able to tell whether the
neighbours are on holiday you realize how packed-in we are in Sydney.
It’s a very different quality of life.
LinkedIn are tinkering under the hood and about to release something new, that requires taking the while site down. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s coming. They have a nice friendly Fail Wizard who is even kind enough to offer trilingual explanations for what’s happening, in English, Spanish and French.
So that’s a wrap then, 2008 is gone. Here’s wishing you all a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2009.
2008 was an interesting year all round. I moved into a much bigger role, running technology across all classifieds. I got myself fitter. I discovered I like presenting and I spent a fair amount of time improving my photography.
I’ve been doing a fair bit of thinking about what I should focus on in 2009, and I’m thinking of the words of my ex-boss in my last review with him before he left. Change the Game.
So that’s my New Year’s Resolution: Change the Game.
