There's little denying that Google do 'freebies' better than most. With products such as Gmail and Google Docs already added to most techies bookmark lists it's hard to imagine how Google could improve on their already impressive list of 'free' products.
Well, we need imagine no longer...

So, here we go, my toe has been dipped into the blogging world but before I can fully immerse myself into the lovely warm waters of the blogosphere I must first think if something inspired, profound, jovial and interesting to say. Sitting here, it's tough knowing where to start.
Should I write about Technology? I'm not exactly a closet geek, I'm geek and proud and would happily attend a 'Geek Pride Parade' should anyone ever want to set one up (I'm not offering by the way, unless it can all be done online) but like most self confessed geeks there always that niggling worry that should the full extent of my geekyness become public knowledge I will be cast down the social ladder to a level shared with sex offenders and power walkers.
Maybe then I'll write about my travels. The worry there however is that upon reading my travel stories people will draw a mental image of me as a tramp with air-miles. And who could argue? Living in dorms with smelly people in need of a hair cut, eating 5p noodles and drinking super strength larger doesn't exactly portray an image of cosmopolitan jet setter often wrongly associated with back packing.
I'll have to make it an opinion piece then, covering everything from Gordon 'The Psycho Cyclops' Brown to the advantages of eating thick sliced bread instead of medium sliced (that's a blog in itself).
Or maybe I'll mix the three.
Yeah, I'll do that....
.....so, now introducing...
