The First Post

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Yes I know. The title is hardly novel is it. But it is descriptive!

This Blog is being created for a multitude of purposes. If I were being grandiose I could say this project has numerous objectives. But that would be grandiose. In reality I have been using Internet web publishing for almost 15 years - since the days of the Gasbone project at The University of Queensland. Gasbone was an experiment in the early 1990s to develop online medical education in various formats and evaluate its delivery. Unfortunately the original Gasbone web server has long since suffered the ravages of entropy but some of the original presentations live on on the main palmer.net.au web site together with some of my more recent offerings.

So why a Blog.

Well a Blog will allow more frequent updates, reader comments and all kinds of advanced technological things. Over time I intend to produce a series of postings which attempt to demystify some aspects of Anaesthesia and even Medicine in general. Eventually there may even be Podcasts - both audio and video.

But before you run, you have to walk. So first the Blog.

ENJOY
