Why yet another blog?

After reading more than a view blogs, some by people I know, I asked myself if there was any real purpose in contributing yet more detritus to the blogosphere. I also knew that I'm waaaay too old to be composing "Dear Diary" sophomorific rambles on any regular basis. But it seemed to be that I could use this space in several ways:

• as a test bed to investigate new technologies that could be integrated into learning systems
• to document my workflow (hey, it might be easier than keeping a paper based journal - or not
• to teach an old dog new tricks

Whether any of this will really pan out remains to be seen; stay tuned...
