They do what on the Internet?
I recently spoke to a staff member at one of my schools who in all respects is a lovely person, but who shocked me thoroughly when we started talking about ‘the Internet’. The topic somehow came to MySpace in particular, and in general the idea of putting personal stuff out there for all to see. Now this person has a child, and their opinion was that they would never let their child do anything online that might expose them to the dangers of the Internet. This sounds good and proper — but my shock was at what their idea of Internet danger extends to.

These two topics are my most heavily found/read/commented-on posts but for different reasons.

This is it. I’m online. I have a web presence. Yay.
It’s two days after Christmas. I’ve wanted to get online for a while, being an IT guy but I’ve kept not doing it. I suppose I’ve thought I’m not interesting enough, and I may not be, but now I don’t care anymore. So I’m here now.
