Welcome to My World

The purpose of this blog is not to show off what I know; nor to seem to be clever; nor to put forward my daft ideas as “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth”; nor to suggest that I know anything that other people don’t know. No, the purpose is to explore the limits of my own knowledge; to try to figure out the answer to “why?”; and to progress along the road that Einstein laid out in his quote that I am using as a tagline to increase my circle of ignorance – hence the name of the blog.

I sort of hope that one or two things along the way will be of interest to someone, but if not – then so be it. I will not be in any way offended! I have no idea where this is going to lead eventually, but we have got to start somewhere.

I did toy with the idea of separate blogs for different subjects, but the reality is that I am the disparate collection of subjects and they are, inevitably, interrelated – so its one blog and I shall try to use the tags intelligently to direct the curious. The categories – Ignorance, Library, Albums and Music – are linked in the menu which you can find on the right if you are on a PC or in the ‘hamburger’ menu and at the bottom of the page if you are on a mobile device.
