Why is this here?

There is one simple answer for why this blog has now come to be:

Procrastination.

Really. That is all. Well ok, not quite. I have thought about starting a blog since being inspired by my friend nick (check out Sauly's blog some time ^_^). And now here I sit at my desk, slugging through a geography assessment for my year 12 HSC, in the wee hours of the morning with a dead line approaching and quite a large portion of the assignment yet to complete. So why the hell am i writing this blog? Well, what better time to start a blog when you are sleep deprived, are sorely lacking in concentration and need a break! ;-)

So I will now close this post and keep at it. Expect a more thought out post from me in the next day or two, but for now i would like to close with this snippet from Professor John Maeda over at MIT:

The more you overcommit, the more that procrastination becomes intolerably expensive to engage ... yet it is when procrastination becomes exceedingly costly to do, it is then that extreme creativity emerges. In the impossible moment, miracles tend to happen. "Necessary procrastination" is a prime factor in the creative process. When the cost of procrastination increases, the probability for radical new thoughts to emerge increases as well. The thought you never thought you would ever need, is often the one that can count the most in the big scope of things.
