So apparently we live in the age of the Blogosphere (that is a silly word). A cheap world wide publishing tool that allows global immediacy and interconnectivity. And now I am a part of this sphere.
Well perhaps its not an 'age', but it's certainly a phenomenon of sorts. There is now so much content stored on the Internet that it worries me a little bit. Now I know this is probably naive and a little bit technophobic (yes I am aware of the irony) but just say the Internet breaks and all that stuff is lost? That's some sort of history and culture and stuff all gone. I understand that news, art etc are not stored solely on the net and wont disappear, but I'm talking about all those communities and blog posts like this one, that have cultural significance that without the Internet would not exist(I am not suggesting that my blog has any sort of cultural significance). I guess that's the key-The Internet-it allows for interaction and connection to take place that, due to geographical constraints, among other things, would not otherwise occur.
Speaking of connection, I'm told that a good start for blogging is linking to relevant or interesting media (what a segway!). So whilst it's not particularly relevant, I do find this clip interesting. It was made by this guy for a final year music project using Adobe After Effects. It's a music video for a Josh Pyke song called 'Fill you In'.
I'm impressed with myself, 2 posts in 3 days. Given that I've never been able to maintain any sort of journal in my life I feel as though this is a good start.
