The first entry in this weblog is a good-bye of sorts. Not a philosophical "good-bye to childhood" sort of thing (I'm an actor, so I doubt I will ever hit that "philosophical good-bye"), but a much simpler straightforward "Bon Voyage" sort of good-bye.
I am leaving tomorrow for a week in Prague, to study Innovation Theory in Transitioning Societies (the official title of the class is “Global Dynamics of Emerging Knowledge and Innovation Societies”).
Since my time online will be limited during this trip (limited by classes, theatres, cultural excursions, and just going out and living in Prague for only a week!), I thought that starting up this blog would be a good way to let family and friends know about my trip. After I return, I can then use this space for periodic updates to my life for those who are interested.
Thanks to my grandfather (Hi, Papa, if you are reading this) who gave me the idea to start up this weblog after previous incarnations slowly died from neglect and forgotton passwords. Hopefully this time it will last a little longer.
The layout of this blog will change over the next few weeks, as I just did a cursory set-up to get something in place before I leave tomorrow morning. So don’t be shocked if things look different.
