On your marks…..

Well, where to start? Its not as though I’m new to blogging as I’ve been doing it on a business basis for some while, but when you start a new blog, the first post is the hardest. It seems crazy really, but there’s some inner sense of purpose that seems to drive you towards presenting something deep and meaningful, and to alert the blogsphere to what they’ve been missing until you came on board, but the reality is that its just another blog…….
In my case the reality is, very simply, a bolt hole; a virtual space where I can keep a shareable narrative about some of my interests, and where I can have a rant if I feel like it. A cyberspace den, or virtual garden shed, if you like.
So what are the interests? Lets get the business stuff out of the way first. I run my own consultancy company specialising in laboratory integration and electronic laboratory notebooks. But more importantly I’m an ex-soccer player, marathon runner, passionate about rugby, occasional golfer, serious amateur photographer, guitarist, bookworm, enjoy and take advantage of good technology, and there’s probably at least 57 other things I’ve overlooked. Away from the office, my time is divided between three major interests, rugby (Director and Communications Officer for the Saracens Supporters Association), photography and music.
When the mood takes me, I expect to post on a number of these subjects, but just for starters, I’ve been spending a bit of time trying to get my head around recording digital audio, basically plugging my guitar into GarageBand and attempting to create something relatively tolerable. So, if you’re brave, take a look at My Music; if you are scared, I understand. I’ll come back and offer explanations and excuses in another post.
