Hello World!

Hi there, thanks for stopping by.

This is my new blog, where I'll post thoughts, opinions, reviews and probably a bunch of other stuff too, of equally little meaning or interest to anyone :)

The title of this blog, "Lost Thoughts" illustrates what I think happens to the majority of blogs or postings on the internet. They are ultimately lost in the ether, forgotten by their owners and left with little or no activity for years on end. How do I know this? Well, while trying to find an available blogspot url for this site, I decided to visit a few of the ones that were already taken (and there were plenty of them before I finally arrived at this one). I'd say the vast majority, not all, but many, had between 1 and 3 posts and were last updated before 2007. The first one I wanted, my name, had one post dated 2006... that's it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this blog ended up taking a similar path, hopefully lasting a little longer than 1 entry, but in the end forgotten and infrequently revisited. I'd be kidding myself if I thought anyone besides myself was likely to be interested in what I write, but then that's not why I do it anyway.

Writing for me is simply a way of collecting my thoughts, or venting my opinions. My little voice (or whisper) on the internet if you like.

So here it is. If you've read this far, I want to know why? Seriously.
