In order to avoid shouting at the TV, alienating my friends and generally annoying people on Facebook, I think I need a venting forum. Aka a blog.

I may also talk about things I like, such as knitting, my family, babywearing, books, music and science.

But mostly I expect I shall be shouting at people who are wrong on the internet.
