Blog officially launched

After much messing about, I've finally and somewhat belatedly launched my personal website.

Over the years a lot of people have told me that someone who's spent the past couple of decades banging on about the implications of the internet age really ought to have his own web presence. They argued that refusing to do so was enormously contradictory, and ultimately I had to agree.

So I've built a site, loaded up a small selection of past articles and started a blog. Over the next year I plan to use the site as a testing ground for a variety of journalism and technology experiments and a discussion platform for some of my theories on journalism 2.0.

From where I'm sitting now this all seems easily achievable, but given the realities of newspaper life I'm equally prepared for the execution of my grand schemes to go badly wrong.

Please do pop in now and then to see how the project is getting along. Even if you're disappointed by what you find, you can always use the site's contact page to express your contempt ...
