Every so often something inspirational drops into my virtual lap, which helps lift the cynicism generated by some of the more robust egos floating round the industry. In this case it's the sad, poignant and inspirational final post from Major Andrew Olmsted, who was killed in Irag last week.

Ooo, this is a fiddly little so-and-so.

Now, it appears that Technorati doesn't quite have the weight that it used to, but it can still be a handy service.

On any blog, there has to be a first post. This is it.

I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to use this blog/website/thingemy for yet, but I'm hoping that, by actually writing something it'll become clear. For Chinwag-related musings, I'll also be writing my blog on Chinwag, and no doubt contributing, time allowing, to the Chinwag Jobs blog.
