Conceptual blogging

There is a fine line between something that is geeky in a cool way and that which just falls flat on its face with a rather humiliating thud. What I am about to do will fall into the latter category.

In a vain bid to boost my own awareness of the Second World War period I am going to create a separate blog in which I shall post ‘cool’ little snippets and events that I want myself to remember and possibly develop in my own work at a later time. By subjecting this stuff to the illusion of the public spotlight I am hoping I will take more care over it than just a hurried note on a scrap of paper that will doubtlessly be swallowed up by the abyss of my bedroom floor. So this exercise is entirely for my own benefit and there is little need to announce it here. The only benefit may be that it might just implant the distorted idea in my mind that it will increase its ‘hit’ rate and hence the need to ensure what I post is accurate and at least makes sense. I had hoped to use ‘typepad’ to host it but I found you need to pay $5 a month for even the basic service. So it is with regret I turn back to blogspot.

I might also use it as another opportunity to expand the Benjamin Nakizo ‘brand name’, which has the added bonus of further dissociating myself from this kudos deadweight.

It is a sad day when your online avatar, unable to face the virtual world, develops one of its own.
