My regular readers (ha-ha!) will see in the Blogroll , or Asides a new link to John’s blog. Typical that the only member to tell us about his blog is one of our oldest but most enterprising friends. If you would like to read John’s interesting account of his travels and observations do read his blog.

Speaking of which I apologise for not posting much on this blog lately but sometimes I feel I should re-christen it ” Tom’s Soliloquy’. That’s OK - I don’t mind talking to myself but don’t usually have to do that. Out of cyberspace I usually have willing listeners.

Have you been reading all the press articles lately about the pros and cons of social networking sites. There’s and interesting take on this in the latest Cambridge Alumni magazine. For the myriads on non-readers of this excellent publication I’ll post a further comment summarising the author’s arguments in favour of sites such as Facebook. Are you a member yet? What do you think about Facebook?
