The Bournemouth University Design society is officially live! Even though we've been meeting for a few months now, we have only recently been awarded our official title. So, without further adue, I would like to congratulate everyone who made this possible. All the new members, the tirelessly enthusiastic council, and SUBU Societies office, who really got behind the idea of an academic society devoted to design and product engineering. Good work everybody!

OK, so anyone who can read the first page of my site can see that this isn't technically my first post. So, let's just call it the first relevant post and move on... This blog is meant to be about the things that I see in the world as being important (what an egomaniac, right?!). So, what do I see as important? As this is my first post, I thought it would be useful to layout a little bit about what that might be; set the ground work if you will; paint the picture; fill in the blanks... ahem, anyway, here goes.
