On my last post

I think my last post might well have been equally describing the blank page of a blog before a thought is thought out. All the future unpublished pages of my blog are ranged like unfallen snowflakes, waiting for my thoughts to literally crystallize them into being.

Like the unheard forest tree in Zen, the snowflakes are only seen when they are "written on".

But when will they fall?

Eskimo Snow

Whiteness blaring on whiteness
...and white
Only white

A staring blankness staring
...and white
Only white

Glaring staring whiteness
A snowdrift on ice

Flaring ice fire
Into glacial skies

...and white
Only white

Complexity in Simplicity

How often do you hear that Eskimoes have a thousand words for snow? Well, of course they don't. They have one word for snow, one word for sleet, one word for ice... in other words lots of words for different kinds of snow. Flake, crystal, glacial... we have different words too. I think my blog will be as different as all those words but is only about one thing. Not snow, but people and computers. In my job I often have to help people understand how to interact with their PC's in the workplace and I 'm always amazed how difficult a lot of people find it. As usual, everyone assumes something to be complicated when it fact it's all too simple.

So lets keep things nice and simple here.
