So call me incredibly sad and also way behind the times but one of my New Year’s resolutions was to actually start blogging and with a little gentle persuasion from other members of the Microsoft Academic team I thought that it was about time to get to it.

To blog or not to blog that really is the first question and where to blog the second question – on theSpoke.net, on Project Hurricane or on asp.net? What to blog about is probably the trickiest question though – my professional life looking after student developer programmes within the Microsoft Academic Team or my personal life – what’s more interesting?
