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. Check it out, leave me a comment, click on 'Who is this?' to find out more about me, or drop me a line by clicking on 'Let's Talk'. Hope you enjoy it!

Wow, its been a long time since I last posted. I blame uni assignments, way too many 21sts (including my own), and my own desire to sleep way more than I ever need. There are quite a few posts I've been meaning to write, so fingers-crossed posts will be a tad more frequent for the next while. But...

Wow, it's nearly been a month since I last posted here. As you have probably guessed if you've read my recent entries, uni started this month, and has kept me fairly busy. Not so much the work (it's been pretty easy so far), but more the transport, socialising, and my resolution not to skip...

Before I start, just want to say happy 1st birthday drive:activated (3 days ago now actually)! Thanks to everyone who have dropped by somewhere along the way - it's been a hell of a journey; met a heap of people, and has gotten me all kinds of places. Best of all, I've had fun writing about all...

...with strings attached, of course. You didn't really think the industry that has been jumping up and down about piracy is suddenly going to do an about-face and go to the other extreme, did you? There'd be a greater chance of pigs flying if you ask me. I've been checking out a service called...

My goddamn hayfever is driving me bloody insane. Aargh! My nose is redder than Rudolph's, and my eyes are so red it looks like I haven't slept for days. I swear when I asked the Melbourne Central Connex guy where the toilet was, he thought I was on a drug-induced bender. Didn't help that...

Wow, it's been nearly 2 weeks since I posted here - damn time flies. Been really busy in the last few weeks with... of all things, work! Yep, for those who don't know, you heard right - I'm now employed! I know I said I wasn't going to before because right now I have a once-in-a-lifetime...

Taking this semester off has made me realise a lot of things, among them being that I need to work hard on being more disciplined, especially when it comes to 'doing my own thing'. 'Doing my own thing' sounds easy when you think about it, but it is actually a lot harder when you sit down...

Exam period at uni begins next month, running from the 7th til the end of the month so pre-exam study guilt is starting to creep up. Posts here will probably be a bit slow, or even non-existent, depending on how dire my unit knowledge is. The situation could be quite bad (I haven't dared look) because...

Preface: I speak as a naïve yet-to-graduate, yet-to-have-work-experience student, so maybe this is complete garbage, but sometimes the best ideas come from those on the outside looking in. Going to university is supposed to be a massive decision for most year 12 students, but really, it isn't. There...

Ever get the feeling you're stuck in a locked prison cell while through the bars your dream is right there in front of you, waiting for you to embark on the wild ride? Ever feel like: you can't concentrate on doing anything else, apart from thinking about your cool ideas? you're being restrained because...
