Let's launch this blog.

My reasons for starting one: Firstly, I want to get better at writing and I figure that I might get some improvement by actually writing; secondly, I use speech recognition software and that also purportedly gets better by continued use; thirdly, I have come across some useful knowledge that might come in handy to someone else and blogging is a good medium for sharing; lastly, I want to try out the platform and perhaps get my own dent in the universe. In light of this, you'll have to excuse my missteps along the way, which may turn up to be fairly common.

From here on, I'll be writing about tea, chess, books, music, a little bit of technology, psychology perhaps and anything else that strikes my fancy and that might be of interest to someone else. So let's start, shall we?
