The Blognik’s been a bit neglected since Christmas, so sincere apologies to everyone who’s dropped by looking for an update.

Extended holidays around Christmas time, coupled with the inevitable post-Christmas backlog of emails haven’t helped, but the main reason we’ve been quiet is we’re now fully engaged with building the new Sonic City website.

Noses to the grindstone in SEGA’s web-monkey enclosure. We’ll let you know when there’s something to see.

Thanks to everyone who sent us emails over the Christmas/New Year period by the way. We even got a few Christmas cards!

Our man Jonic Linley, for example, emailed us this morning asking if we were still alive. We are, Jonic, and your email is what prompted this post. So thanks for that.

Mr Kev ‘ArchangelUK’ Eva, also dropped an email in our mailbox this week. His site - www.sonicwrecks.com - has been relaunched and looks ace. There’ll be a new Radio Redux podcast coming along soon and we happen to know it’s going to be pretty interesting and, quite possibly, very embarrassing for some. Here’s hoping! ;0)

Finally, a heads-up. Watch the Blognik very soon for a series of wee (or should that be Wii?) posts from SEGA’s pre-eminent PR guru, Stefan. While he spends most of his time working with the UK’s big games magazines and such, he’ll be letting us in on his special relationship with Sonic over the next few days. Look forward to insights on what exactly PR is all about, the forthcoming Sonic and the Secret Rings and more…

Until then…
