the traditionally tedious first post

in my capacity as most popular lecturer in the design & visual arts department of city college manchester, i am often asked to share my encyclopaedic knowledge with hordes of saucer-eyed students, who gaze at me in admiration and hang on my every syllable.


this past two weeks i have been talking the students through the process of setting up blogs and showing them the mechanics of adding photos, slideshows & video – generally availing of the various tentacles of the google global empire; blogger, picasa and youtube.  this is so the students can maintain a studio diary [or PDP - 'personal development plan' - in city college parlance] as part of their coursework.


anyway, it occurred to me that it might be a good idea if i led by example and set up a similar blog for myself, wherein i could post random work-related musings. of course, i already have an incredibly popular personal blog which is read regularly by up to one person globally  - but since that consists mainly of my beer and drug fuelled rantings about things which piss me off [generally the entire human race] i thought maybe i'd set up this 'ere new blog to show the mature, intellectual, professional side of my character for - allegedly - such a thing does exist!


those of you who just want to read lots of sweary immature verbal diarhoea should look away now.
