Most days I learn something new. I come across it in a book, notice it on a bike ride, hear it on the TV or in conversation with friends. Most of these scraps of information grab my attention briefly then fade away. 'That's interesting' I think. 'Maybe I could do something with that'. Then the thought fades away and something else grabs my attention or I drift away into a daydream.
This blog is my attempt to remedy the situation, to sift the torrent of information that rushes past and bring one new thing to my attention every day. It might be a new piece of music, a bright image or a killer fact. Writing a short piece about it will focus my attention and hold it in my memory. If nothing else happens my writing technique will improve with regular practice.
So for the rest of June I'm going to practice keeping a blog and paying attention. If it works out I'll make it a regular feature of my life, like meditation, practising the piano or riding a bike. I'll even spend some time designing the blog but for now a bar template will suffice.
So here we go; first entry.
