Luddite checks in

I'm not the biggest advocate of technology so I have surprised myself by creating a blog. Why? Well it seems a good place to consolidate a number of ideas/thoughts/things that are currently somewhat floating around and have no home and it seems a bit less brash than Facebook which I have so far resisted joining. Hopefully this is the start of something of substance rather than a brief foray into something I quickly tire of. We shall see...
