Why a blog? Because my kids have blogs. Therefore, having a blog makes me appear younger and more relevant. The chance to express my opinions anonymously and without opposition has nothing to do with it. Nor does the appeal of seeing myself splashed across the internet.
Why "My Carbon Footprint"? Three reasons (in the order I thought of them):
1. I like the sound of it - catchy and topical;
2. Carbon footprints are a big focus these days, so people might actually be interested in reading it; and
3. Apparently people are willing to believe anything relating to carbon that comes from a computer, no matter how wrong it is (just ask the folks at East Anglia).
But those are just the reasons for the name. The true inspiration for the name ... will be discussed in another post.
What will appear in this blog? Basically, any musing or rant that occurs to me, once I actually care enough to spend some time writing about it. It's my own personal broadcasting device. What's written may be controversial, but hopefully it will also be throught provoking. I believe it is important to understand how someone thinks, even if you don't agree with them.
Anyway, enough of this, the post is already longer than I intended (that's a bad habit of mine). However, before closing, I'd like to give a couple of shout-outs:
1. Thanks to smac for being the real catalyst and getting me interested in this, and
2. Thanks to ek who has encouraged the effort.
