The Story So Far...


Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far, far away lived a local radio presenter by the name of Jason Shand. (That's me!) One day, he decided to make his own website, for the listeners to his radio show. To create a community, a central hub for those people who listened to his radio show. (Is me talking about myself in the third person creeping you out, because it's creeping me out?!)

Ahem! So I made the website. It was hosted by a company called Moonfruit. Not a bad wee place if you want to make a flash website. Anyway, I digress as usual. That website was cloned as an attempt to abuse me. The culprits? Amazingly some people I worked with at the time. Ironically, most of which now have their own websites. Then MySpace came along and no-one visited any other website ever. Or so MySpace Tom would have you believe.

Eventually I started a blog, at Blogger. I created a Bebo account, a Facebook account and a YouTube account too. Suddenly I was all over the internet. It was kind of messy. It was very messy.

Over the years I've had various "central hubs" for listeners. Of course I am no longer on the radio so it would be silly of me to continue that path. So please, don't consider this a "central hub for listeners" but in fact a "central hub for friends" because if by now you're still even some what remotely interested in anything I have to say or do then you must be a friend... or a glutton for punishment. Either way, I hope you'll enjoy this new blog.

Feel free to leave a wee comment to let me know you're here. Manners cost nothing after all. Oh and don't worry about having to register or sign-up to anything, you don't need to. Just do it!

Thank you.

Oh a new look, very clean looking (and yes that is a compliment.)

As you so rightly point out it's only polite to say "I waz ere". So here's one comment to say that :)

It's good to have a "central hub" to post and share with friends the inner depths of your mind or day to day happenings. I always think keeping a blog means you can connect with a friend and "reach" them on a level perhaps you (we) wouldn't in every day conversation sometimes. Good luck with your new blog and hope you enjoy mine as well now you've opened the gate so to speak. I even welcomed you :-)
