My first post

Well this is my first blog.
I think this program is an important step in this rapidly changing society. We have all these new tools on offer but often dont stop to spend the time to learn and use them. The great thing about blogging is that people have a uncensored voice. Unlike the past if you wanted something published either in the newspaper or books it had to go through some sort of selection process with sombody else deciding wheather you could say it or not. This of course can have a negative side of course but the humble blog must be a terrifying concept in for the totalitariansts.
I have to say I was really impressed with the WW1 soldier blog. I'd be really interested in creating a story blog (i'm sure there's plenty out there), you know the game you may have played at school were someone starts a story and the others continue it. Maybe a crime tale! As some of you know I am a horror buff. My movie tip for the week is a New Zealand horror flick called the Ferrryman. Check it out if you can find it, it's alot of fun.

Sounds like that is another thing to add to the 'three things we don't know about you' list. When you say horror do you mean films or books or both? Best horror film I saw recently was 'The Descent'. Haven't heard of 'The Ferryman'; my favourite NZ export at the moment is the Conchords. (Don't get me started on those All Blacks)

Yes I have seen The Descent. An excellent horror movie. I've been meaning to watch the Conchords sound quite funny.
