Light @ The End Of The Tunnel

The present is bleak. For proof just look out of your window or turn on the news.
Wars, recession, corruption, erosion of civil liberties and moral decline.
That's the general population for you. What about the rest?
Scientists, inventors, writers, readers, and the freethinkers of the world. You know who you are and you are not alone.
Today the web is an ubiquitous tool for the masses. Navigation of the web has been made easy by Google and Microsoft. Only if you ask it the right question.
But what if you want to do more than search for other peoples creations? What if you want to create something yourself? Something to share with the global community. What If you don't know where to begin?
Help is on hand in the form of new earth online.
It is a website controlled by an old college friend of mine, and throughout the years I have known him, he has always been a big science, technology and media guru. This was when the internet was in its relative infancy towards the end of the end of the last century.
The website helps software and web based developers get to grips with the technology and technique of new hardware and software, and guides people from humble beginnings to a more advanced level.
Admittedly my blog is still in its proto-form. I wish to expand sometime in the future and a lot of the tech-jargon that comes with the web development has stopped me before I have even gotten started, so this will help me.
Its not all about development either. As a sort of tea break from the seemingly endless coding, there are many informative movie reviews. Encompassing all genres of cinema from Manga to mainstream. The site offers many informative reviews of new software products, for those that are never sure whether to download something, and want a second opinion even though Google says that it is the best thing since sliced bread.
Recent posts include online security. Making sure you choose the right password. In an internet that always asks you to register before you do anything.

So even though the old world is crashing and crunching. A New Earth is forming and there are people like this offering us a helping hand into the twenty-first century.
