Hello. So, this is my blog. It’s been going for a while, since February 2003 in fact, across various platforms, and before this, I had another website called brightblack.net, which I nurtured from 1996 to 2008, taking in hand coding and various CMS fun before putting it out to pasture and pointing the URL back here, to put my decreasing web time into the blog  since the family really seem to take up a lot of my free time for some reason!

Essentially, this blog doesn’t have a given niche, a vertical, any kind of marketable thread – it’s effectively whatever I happened to be doing or thinking about at the time, so that could be about Japan, technology (I work in IT), reading, cooking, motorbikes, snowboarding, or any of the other things I quite like, and occasionally write about. In short, I’m not planning to turn this into a book. However, I am trying to learn to become a writer and write a book.

Right now, I’m try to get all of this back into Creative Commons.

I also have a few videos over at Vimeo.
