hi there!
I see you've stumbled on to my humble home on the net, Drive:Activated. My name's Sam, I'm an ambitious and driven uni student, residing in Melbourne, Australia, wanting to make my mark on our world. This is my site, which is mainly just my blog and some other bits. There's no definite theme to my blog, just anything that interests me, and currently that's web trends, startups, ideas and cool stuff.

I should've put this up earlier but it slipped down my 'stuff to blog about' list - it's still available at some places though. When Microsoft was deciding on the packaging options for the new Office 2007, they decided to drop Microsoft Outlook from the Student & Teacher edition (now called Home...
