"Oh what a tangled web we weave...
...When first we practice to deceive." Famous words, written by Sir Walter Scott in the poem 'Marmion', in the early 1800's. Throughout my time I've encountered a few web spinners, and do my very best to avoid them, wherever, or whomever they may be, offline, or online in our increasingly "web" dependant worlds.
However, in the modern media driven world, where I spend a lot of my time, there are many products and services that weave a tangled confusing web, that you cant easily avoid. Therefore the main driver for me in putting this site live, is to point out and share these complex, tangled areas, and do my best to provide simple, clear solutions or alternatives to these issues as I find them.
It's never easy in this world, especialy where the majority of corporations are all too well aware and blatantly know complexity & confusion sells. Many others do try to simplify, and prove that simplicity can also sell, most famously those such as Apple, or Google, but in this almost fast forwarded world, even with innovation at such a rapid pace, we still have a long way to go. Take a look at David Progues fantastic short video on the trials & tribulations of the path to simplicity to see that I'm not alone in this quest.
& some other stuff too...
So in this ever increasingly complex web world, where at nearly every turn, there is some legal proceedings required to listen, watch, read or even communicate with others, what do you do? One thing to do to ease the frustration, is to just get away from it all, even just for a short while.
So in amongst all this complexity vs. simplicity talk, I'll also be having what's known as"a life" too. I'll also be posting some words, pictures & links I've liked, and hopefully having some fun too.
I've been am embarking on some pretty big changes recently [for me anyway] and one of my key goals, is for an improved, simpler way of life. Why not? This aint a rehersal, and your only going to get one shot at it. It's been, and is going to continue to be, real hard work & a long haul to get there, but I hope I can share some of that here.
Call this site simply therapeutic for me, or call it drivel, it's your choice. Just dont call it complicated.
