Predictions for 2011 are on their way

I’m not very good at predicting things. I have never won the lottery, or successfully won a bet on a major sporting event. I constantly fail to identify the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest and even under-estimate how long most car journey’s will take.

However, I have decided to take a stab at making some predictions for 2011. This blog focuses on three main areas.

  • Publishing – this is what I do, so I take an interest and make the odd comment
  • Digital – this is how I do the above, but I also have an interest in the technology too
  • Divine – this is where I think beyond what I do and know, a little subjective spirituality

So the next three posts, unless any bookmarks pop up, will be my predictions for 2011 in those three areas. And when I say predictions you could read premonitions or even thoughts… but just in case, remember where you heard it first.

Happy 5th Blogday

Well five years ago this blog began. Back then it was hosted on blogger, and I still do a bit of chatting over there to this day. But for five years this has been my primary place of residence. It has gone through several iterations but then that is life.

I haven’t posted as regularly as I would have liked, but then I do post quite a lot elsewhere. Looking at the posting stats it seems I have posted about once a week. Considering all that goes on in my little domain I think that’s probably quite a good rate.

I still have a lot of plans for this blog and perhaps at some point I will get around to putting then into place. Currently though, this little piece of personal blogging real estate isn’t at the top of the to do pile. I suppose this is a note to the blog itself, saying I haven’t forgotten you, I still come here regularly and I am overjoyed that we have spent the last five years sharing some inane banter with the cyberverse.

Seven things to be thankful for spans five years today:

  1. Blogger
  2. Dreamhost
  3. Xilo
  4. WordPress
  5. Scribefire
  6. Live writer
  7. Michael Owen
