About this blog

This started as somewhere for me to keep notes about my research/scholarship interest in the nature of information in my capacity as an academic at the Open University. Now that I'm retired, I just use it for anything I want to get off my chest. (Though there are still sometimes things I want to flag about the nature of information.)
