New Media Mania

… to learn as much as I can about new media.

And as technology evolves ever faster, the hill only gets steeper.

Fortunately, for those of us who actually use these media, its almost too easy.

It’s as natural to young kids today as it was me plugging in my Tandy TRS-80 (pictured) to play “Dino Wars” (Beware: clicking the Dino Wars link will yield very little information about the game!)

This blog, for example, took a couple of minutes to set up. (However, I did spend a lot of time “umming” and “ahhing” over which design template I should use! … and ended up with the default theme.) [Since changed.]

Setting up’s one thing. Maintaining is quite another.

So, I would like to offer:-

• A virtual high five to the first person to comment on my blog.
• A virtual “good onya” to the first to comment with a guesstimate of the percentage of new blogs failing before the first 10 posts.
• A virtual pat on the back to the first person to comment with a link to research or a study that reveals just this statistic.

Good onya for reading this far!
