When I first had the idea of this blog it was as an ongoing analysis of different theories with the purpose of gaining a better understanding of the world around me. It was quite literally meant to be a personal research project into culture and society; using evidence to decide what theory works and what doesn't. However, after a few short written pieces my posts became a collection of links with no substance. I am returning to my original concept...well, almost. [10 Feb '11]
