Writing this blog

One of my initial purposes in setting out ot write this blog, was to explore what I might use it for and how I might use it - or "learning by doing". Two current "work in progress" notices then:

I am currently abandoning the system of a short list of 'Categories' with which I began in favour of something that looks more like 'Tags' as used on sites like deli.cio.us, for instance. It will take a while to  adopt that fully and until then, the 'categories' will not work properly. Apologies.

Having introduced a music 'playlist', I've tried to bring variety by regularly changing the track playing. Until a moment ago, the track was from "Koyaanisquatsi", the musical score by Philip Glass for the amazing and very contemporary film of the same name. ("Created between 1975 and 1982, the film is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds -- urban life and technology versus the environment.") "Koyaanisquatsi" is a Hopi word meaning "Life out of balance". I also saw it translated as "If this is Life, there's got to be a better way".  Made me smile, anyway. Actually, what I intended to say was that if you want to turn the music off - to watch and listen to the YouTube video of Glenda Watson Hyatt for instance - you can do so on the Playlist box at the bottom right corner of this page; just pause it.
