I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that the online, and now mobile, world harbours a veritable treasure trove of glorious information. Certainly there is some information not worth the laptop it’s typed on, but some quick and painless navigation of various sites can get you into the minds of some innovative and inspiring thinkers out there – on whatever topic you want. Awesome.

So why blog? Why should I add to the ever rising mound of opinion and insights when, let’s be honest, I’m unlikely to add anything new. Well, I humbly give you my two reasons for starting this blog:

1. To add clarity and structure to my mind map of unregulated thoughts – one of the adverse effects of compulsive blog reading is the steady stream of ideas it generates, all of which appear to spin off into a multitude of directions.

2. To hopefully meet some like-minded folk, to share ideas and ideally argue the toss with people on occasions as well.

So, in summary, I very much hope you enjoy my idle thoughts and that they add to, rather than unnecessarily distract from, the online conversation. But should I gain not a single reader, my blogging efforts should at least serve as my own personal journal of thoughts.
