Starting again

I have started this blog again for a number of reasons. 1st, because I need to write down some of my ideas and the many things I find inthe infospace; 2nd, I have been telling people blogs are the next big thing since 2001, but never got round to actually writing one (although I did try to do it in 1994 when the web first started); 3rd, I have some students studying blogs; 4th, it will be interesting to see if anyone ever reads this.

I also saw a couple of blogs and pages that triggered me into doing this, including this by someone called Jonathan Marks Critical Distance
His blog pointed me to this:
Creative Archive which is related to my work on open source, creative commons etc. I have just had to mark a number of essays on the topic, which again brought it to mind. I am also working on a wiki, and trying to decide how to get our department to have an more dynamic website, rather than the static one I set up in 1996, which I cannot believe is nearly 10 years old.
