Well I am... until I hit the button to post this to my blog!! Once I hit the button I am joining the millions of other folks worldwide who have been bitten by the blogging bug (don't think bug is a great word to use but hey what the hell... i am new to this game)

So some background... I am one of the few members of my team who did not have a blog. And for a year or so, I have resisted the urge.. I did not want to become a statistic of a blogger who posts a few times and then their blog disappears to blog heaven (or hell depending on how you look at it)... I wanted to wait until I was 100% committed to blogging, where I have a topic I feel amazingly passionate about, where I would look forward to sharing some of my thoughts or passing on smart thoughts/experiences or learnings from people more clever than me...

So why now? Well one of my great friends (and fellow microsoftie) Steve also known as Geek in Disguise has been raving for months on a book 'has changed his life', ... a book I am sure most of you already know 'Naked Conversation' by Robert Scoble & Shel Israel.. so I finally get around to ordering it from amazon (if you haven't read it... order it here)

Well... I am now a believer :o) I have not been as excited about a new technology in a while... this book is truly fantastic.. I dare anyone to read it and not have the urge to get blogging..

Another one of my work mates is Allister who writes the Useful Tech. Blog   has been giving me some tips and tricks... I think I have broken one of the cardinal rules to keep it short... promise to in future :o)

So there you are... in a mo I won't be a blogging virgin... fingers crossed someone enjoys the experience along the way :o)
