Well those of you who have decided to read through my first post and onto the next have made a conscious decision to persevere with my ramblings and probably have a few questions to ask.
I bet the first of which is "how on earth did you come up with the name of your blog??" followed closely behind with "so if you are so against blogging, what made you change your mind?"
Well I'll explain the later first which will help to explain the former.
The reason I've started a blog is because i need to. Study is a funny thing. It often makes you do things you really thought you would never do, as well as achieve things you never thought possible. Maybe over the course of the next fourteen weeks you will bear witness to something truly amazing; A cynical and tenacious "non-believer" adapting and embracing the blogging revolution! ...or maybe the experience will just reinforce what i already believe ;)
I just happen to be undertaking a correspondence subject with Curtin University in WA. The subject is different in that it's a technical IT course, but incorporates a philosophical componant. It makes you think out side the square a bit and looks at basic internet concepts in a variety of ways. One aspect involves maintaining an online blog.
The title of my blog is kinda in reference to the "Iron Curtain" that formed post World War II dividing Europe. The "them" and "us" mentality i have in regards to blogging is represented and the lifting of the curtain is symbolic of my willingness to "break down the wall" of resistance I've put up against anything to do with blogging.
Yeah it's pretty deep, but now that im in the swing of things with blurting out thoughts, theres no stopping me!
