Yuck.. news... where have my blogs gone?

 Yuck..

 It's so annoying to read the news every day. Tired of seeing the same guy banging on and making the world a worse place.

I realised how much I have missed since stopping reading blogs. It was the end of the RSS feed that started that. Without that organised stream of new content I wasn't able to connect.

So I am revisiting this blog, MY blog!, where my reading lists were collated and shared for others. Interesting to see so many of them still going, after what has been more than 10 years since I was a regular vistitor here.

I am still language learning. I have lost a lot of that early motivation, but I still perservere. My career, and its attendant dissappointments, have also got in the way. I am still involved in language learning in my work, which should keep me motivated. But the politics and BS that needs to be dealt with in a large organisation is something that has taken the fun out of it for me.

I have also taken on something of a tangent in learning how to code. Or at least improving my tech literacy. I have a couple of certificates now and am trying to complete the Harvard CS50 introduction to computer science. My overall goal is still to develop a good language learning tool. To make use of this revolution to help myself and others with language learning.

 I will endevour to post more regularly. Additionally, I have set up my own blog to write about a trip I will take later this year, back to China. My wife is Chinese and we will visit the Hexi corridor, part of the old silk road. I would like to connect that blog and this in order to write and post more. I will link to it here once up and running.
