I've recently moved to Amsterdam from London and wanted to start blogging on the highs and the lows, and everything else in-between. It's also a bit of ranting and raving and a load of blah blah blah.

1st post

Welcome!
I have to admit to having jumped on the blogs bandwagon a little bit late; I'm actually a blogging virgin. So why I've never started a blog, I'm not really sure, but maybe it also seems a desperate attempt at communicating with the outside world. In some form or another.

It's also maybe borne out of my confusion with the web nowadays. There's so much information, and so much that I find that escapes me. I'm not sure if it's laziness, or I'm simply confronted with too many options. We have so many tools now to capture and publish the things we find online from browser bookmarks through to linking to it on Facebook. Not to mention shared bookmarks such as Delicious for example. This is only for favorite web pages, what about all the rest?

It extends beyond simply making a list of web pages now, and call me crazy, but I'd really like one place that I can access from any computer that summarizes everything, and in the most personal way possible.

Ok, so this all sounds very general doesn't it, but bear with me here, my next project is going to be exploring all the options we have for collecting our online life and recording it. What do we do with this content overload and ever-growing dispersion of data.
