Why Blog?

Here is the first post by Calum Henderson, on a blog.Keyboard

In mid-semester break of semester 1 in 2009 I stumbled across an article about twitter and usernames. Basically saying that you should sign up for your name now while it is still available. Made sense to me, so I scored twitter.com/calumhenderson. Then I started using twitter, and got a bit excited by the possibilities to share ideas immediately with millions of other people (even 100s would do fine). I then talked to a guy at my church called Dave Miers, and he has thought a lot about this stuff (see his blog here), and he also encouraged me to get a blog.

So over the past month I have been considering it, and I will be testing out this site for about 6 months. Sharing ideas about education, technology and life, all with a Christian perspective. Doing this so that there can be a collaboration on these ideas, and also for personal reflection and collection of my own thoughts.

Hope you enjoy it…

    Hey Calum! Cool to see you’ve started blogging, I’m sure it will have some good interesting reads. I’ve got a similar blog I’m doing with friends from church, although we only post every once in a while. Hope it goes well and I’ll be sure to check back! Blessings. – MattyC
