The past four years I have been Tech Editor for Driven Magazine, a really awesome men’s lifestyle magazine aimed at high income earning men between the ages of 30 and 50 (or thereabouts).
Recently I gave notice to the editor-in-chief and the publisher this next issue will be my last. It has been a lot of fun writing for Driven. Hanging out with the editorial team in the office and at events was a lot of fun. We accomplished some fairly significant feats over the years too, combining pure grit and determination with resourcefulness and a bit of suave.
I had become increasingly unhappy with the amount of time I was devoting to my family and I needed to shake things up right across the board. I often tell my boss at the CCSAI that we need to look at services with a fresh slate in order to improve so I took the same advice for my life.
I’ve made other changes too, but leaving Driven is the most noticeable to everyone but my immediate family.
My plans are to stay away from tech writing for a few months and re-evaluate in the summertime.
Dear Mathuie,
Say it ain’t so -ohh ohh ohhh (My cheap attempt at humour). But seriously, wow. Well good luck friend. I know we will still be in touch but maybe just not regarding Sony Ericsson anymore.
Cheers!

Mathieu,
I just want to wish you the best of luck with whatever you do in the future. It takes guts to do what you did – to shake things up. I shook things up about two years ago – unfortunately, it wasn’t the best decision. But now I know where I don’t want to be. If you never see the other side, how will you ever know?
Again, best of luck!
