OK, so I’m not the most prolific blogger but it seems like ages since I posted anything here. I’m sure I could find excuses but when I think about it ‘excuses’ has the wrong implications. Who would I make my excuses to? What I have I done wrong? Who cares?

I started this blog as a means of passing on information to colleagues such as our local Masterclassers or Glow mentors. Sometimes there’s something to say, often there’s not. Sometimes the information appears in other places - aberNET, Aberdeen Grid for Learning, Glowblog, etc. Sometimes it’s read, sometimes it’s not. Does it matter?

I’ve been on holiday for two weeks but haven’t blogged here but I have used the computer every day. I’ve checked my emails every day. I’ve downloaded music. I’ve bought some things from Amazon and ebay. I’ve used a database and spreadsheet to start cataloguing my cd collection. I’ve used FrontPage to give Aberdeen Grid for Learning a makeover. I’ve edited video of my grand-daughter. I’ve set up a blog for the Reading Bus project (more soon). I’ve read a few blogs. And probably a few other things.

And I’ve had a life.

And that’s the way it’s likely to stay. When there’s something about ICT that I want to share with others, I’ll share it. If I’ve nothing much to say, I’ll keep quiet.

The danger with blogging and the blogging community is that it’s addictive. Once you start blogging, you feel you need to keep going. When you start following other people’s blogs, you feel you have to read everything.

I’m going for low fat blogging - keeping it to a reasonable level as part of a healthy lifestyle.
