I’m going to be writing more about politics on this blog. My interest is how politics might relate to technology, business and “ordinary” people in the UK – with a particular emphasis on Wales. As a personal rule I try and stay away from the various personalities and day-to-day machinations, allegiances, squabblings, who wore what [...]

This loosely follows on from the previous post about Twitter being a variant of blogging. Incidentally, normal service on this blog may be resumed at some point or possibly never. Anyway. Sometimes I think almost EVERY form of publishing in social media can be considered a form of blogging. Is everything here blogging? On Flickr, [...]

Sometimes you have to prove things to yourself and this post is here to prove that is possible to be concise and succinct. I’m talking about blogging here but mainly about communication in general. OK, point made.

I’ve tried to avoid talking about blogging itself too much here. As in, I don’t do blogging about blogging. That’s not because there’s no value in that exercise nor because I have any particular aversion to meta (in fact quite the reverse). It’s just that I didn’t think I had anything new to say or [...]
