Well here goes with my first post on my first blog! Yes, I know, I’m a bit late to the blogosphere. I’m going to go by my handle/alias – techandlife – at least initially. I’ll discuss why in later posts. Let’s just say I’m a guy from Scotland.

I thought a lot over my handle and blog name. It probably took around two months for me to hit on an alias/domain name which best conveys what I want to blog about but I finally got it. Tech…and life. Don’t worry folks, it’s not going to be too tech. I’ll say at the outset I’m not a geek…but at the same time, I’m not a Luddite. I’m also not the world’s greatest writer, but I’ll try and post in a casual, rather than a technical tone. On the tech side, I’ll try and post tips, tricks and advice which the novice/intermediate level PC and internet user will find helpful. I’ll blog about life too – things I find interesting, funny, frustrating or annoying or things I just want to get off my chest. The occasional post may be a little off-the-wall.
Well that’ll do for now – I know there are lots of blogs to visit out there so I’ll always try to be succinct. In the next post I’ll try give you some more background as to what fired me up to start a blog. Thanks for reading… and come back soon.
