# Christmas Wrap-up

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone! Also my weekly thanks to [Marqui](https://web.archive.org/web/20050206200347/http://www.marqui.com/) for sponsoring my weblog – I’m much appreciative of their support.

I’ll be kicking up my heels for the next two weeks, ruminating over my goals for 2005 and re-charging my batteries. I’ll also be preparing my new business venture’s weblog for go-live in January – very exciting!

btw there’s some excellent 2005 predictions going around the weblog world. I recommend you check out [John Batelle’s post](https://web.archive.org/web/20050206200347/http://battellemedia.com/archives/001151.php) and also [Andy Lark’s](https://web.archive.org/web/20050206200347/http://andylark.blogs.com/andylark/2004/12/ten_ways_commun.html) (Sun executive and fellow kiwi).

If I don’t blog again before 2005 ([yeah right](https://web.archive.org/web/20050206200347/http://www.tui.co.nz/yeahrightintro.asp)), have a happy holiday! 🙂
