The foothills

I have meandered along many an interesting sidetrack or two in the last week. Checking out random blogs on the net, to see whether this blogging is really interesting or just navel gazing. And of course it is both and more. After reading some other ERL blogs questioning the point of new technology, new options, I acknowledge I have similar questions. The point is to ask why we are using it. A Brazilian businessman, Ricardo Semmler has had some challenging thoughts about how we organise ourselves, and whether we think deeply about what we are doing and the tools we use. Very simply he suggests in The seven day weekend, that we ask "why, why, why". His first book was Maverick! Both are excellent reads.

What a journey!
Is it really two weeks already?
This doesn't come easy to an idler like me.
Cyberspace is now littered with a few false starts at Gmail and blogspots...cyberjunk floating out there for others to avoid.
What are the refuse issues for these misfits? Do they create problems for the computers of the giants of the Internet world, or are they only specks of matter with a half life of days, hours of seconds?

I'm glad we're not into visuals yet, or I'd be tempted to add a copy of Munsch's 'The scream'. Cliched, but apt.
However, rousing the slumbering optimist in me, I have come this far, I shall soldier on into the mountains of challenge ahead. Looking forward to meeting and sharing thoughts with fellow travellers.
