So what is this all about? [I ask this question as much for my own benefit as anyone else's].

Well, as I said in the first post below, I was inspired by 3 very different 'blogs, having spent some months mooching around at MetaFilter. And the whole self-publishing has always been a 'thing' of mine since I drew my first newspaper aged...well youngish. Definitely under 12. So now I get to publish all across the planet. Wheeee...

The final kick, however, was the coming trip to the USA. I first went 5 years ago and got into the habit of writing long, rambling email diaries to the folks back home and people seemed to enjoy them. Apart from those who shared email with their families and who didn't appreciate my use of language.

So I thought that I'd start writing again. And I can post lotsa fun pix & links as well to [marketing voice] 'enrich the media experience'. Two weeks today & I'll be sitting on a 'plane heading for LA and a 15-day sojourn via San Fransisco & good ol' Burning Man [Map of Black Rock City 2002 just released!] and I'll be able to gloat about share my experiences right here.

Strap on yer skates kids & we'll see how this develops...

 
More testing...blogging from Love of Life's work place. Brighton..? Hove, actually.

 
And while I'm linking to good things I should mention So many islands, so little time the weblog of Joe Friend. [And how could you not like something created by someone called 'Joe Friend'?]

Originally from Seattle, USA, Joe & the family have been living in Indonesia (Bandung, Java) for nearly five years and his 'blog provides a good source for Indo-news-junkies such as myself.

 
Testing this AC/DC board meeting transcript from stavrosthewonderchicken's site in the 'Blog This!' box.

 
Right, added the picture link at the top. My head hurts...

 
This is a test post.

Poprocks, Cockeyed Absurdist and Lightningfield, although very different, inspired this place. I shall try and take some responsibility for myself but then that's no fun...
