What's the point?

Dear reader (how pretentious ;)

It seems less intimidating to write this from my email account. Funny, that. :)

There are two things that have finally motivated me to set up this blog: attending the first Jozi 27dinner on 27 January 2007, as well as reading Ken Macleod's Learning the World.

The whole point of this blog is to log what I'm currently reading, mainly from a science fiction/fantasy aspect, in order to keep a record of what I read and to promote SFSA (Science Fiction and Fantasy South Africa - www.sfsa.org.za). And figure out blogging and other aspects of social media at the same time. But who knows, perhaps stuff that I read during work hours and on other blogs may creep in here? As well as ballroom and Latin American dancing, weight training, organic chocolate (Green & Black yum yum yum) and the Amazing Music group (http://amazing.za.net/).

So here's to my first proper post!
