This site is about the author's obviously biased, first-hand accounts of his elaborate and sinister plans for world domination. Within this cyberspace entity lies Archon Digital's previously untold undertakings to commit himself to gain a higher level of being (read as: pagerank and moolah!) and his miserable failures which led him to instead shoot for his minor goal of becoming a successful internet entrepreneur. Archon Digital is a graphic designer's personal site, blog and portfolio site where the author writes about life, art, design, technology, politics, the internet and the simplest crack humor that would make up his otherwise overloaded and stressful day.

After almost five years of working for a luxury hotel doing a mix of graphic design, interactive media, web development and e-mail marketing, I am finally moving on to a new job. December 2, 2008 was my last official work day with Makati Shangri-La and I will be flying to Dubai on December 8 for my next work assignment.

Working at Makati Shangri-La has taught me a lot of things which I intend to bring along with me. The training and exposure I received has forever altered my DNA structure to a point where every future decision I make at work and in private would involve some level of Shangri-La into it.

I can’t even answer the phone like a normal person would without muttering the standard telephone clause. This is a good thing because I merely have to cut-n-paste the new company name on every standard line I used to say.

Now seriously, all the training and experience gained would be put into good use. I am now more capable of handling tough work situations, clients and vendors than I were five years ago before joining the hotel.

Shangri-La was my second home these past years and I will very much miss the people (and the wine, the buffet, the late-night club sandwiches and pizza) who were once part of daily life.

    Will this move mean you’ll be blogging less or more?

    Anyways, I wish you all the best on your next job and on moving to Dubai!

    @Jaypee: It will mean more free time to do other things I like such as exploring the web and blogging.

    It also means I will be away from my family. :(

    It sucks you will be away form your family. And I know how answering the phone goes after being at a job where you have to answer phones. I have had people hang up after calling me because they thought they had the wrong number after I started with, “_____ How can I help you?”

    @Stephan Miller: it’s good that my new job doesn’t require me to answer phone calls that much
