Hello world!
By Sparky | November 19, 2005
Welcome to my brand new (reused) home in cyberspace. My old blog has reached the end of it’s life and I’ve decided to embark on a new project with a new focus. Futurist now is dedicated to not only my day to day life, but also to the trends and technologies that shape our society as a whole. As technology advances I am finding free, open source software becoming more and more important to me so in this first post I would like to thank some of the numerous people who have made this possible:
- Wordpress - an amazingly simple yet fully featured FOSS blogging tool based on PHP and MySQL
- Chad Coleman - provided the basic theme used on Futurist now, with some extensive modification to the graphics and CSS done by me
- Dreamhost - An amazing people-friendly, geek-loving hosting provider - donate to my hosting bills by clicking here
- W3C - helping to standardize the web with great technologies like CSS
Hopefully this blog will grow and flourish over the coming years. New media and the ability to share ideas is becoming a new reality through the internet and I hope that Futurist now can keep up.
