It’s two years since I first set up this blog on this day in 2003. Then I left it untouched until recently.
It was basically a trial – what was all this stuff about these new-fangled blogs?
Back then, a work colleague had set one up to focus on news items relating to the area in which we worked – science and technology innovation. The idea was to use the technology to discuss the technology, that is to use the medium to deconstruct the medium, sort of.
Anyway, it seemed a good idea at the time. Each member of the team contributed to the blog and it didn’t take more than a few seconds to realise how to set my own. So I did. Because I could.
But I only started to write regularly when inspired by my elder daughter Sharon’s holiday blog and younger daughter Tracy’s holiday photo album which they started almost at the same time. A nice example of the parent learning from the child.
