New identity

Identity 123

Tetracarbon now has a new home - www.tetracarbon.com! and a new email address Phillip@tetracarbon.com. 

Easy as playing with Lego

The most amazing thing about all of this is how easy and cheap it has become to buy a domain and set up websites. I have to say, I am VERY impressed with Google Sites and the range of Google services which they pretty much give away. It's only $10 for the domain name and the rest of it you can use drag and drop editing. 


Now I personally appreciate a bit of code, but it's a pain in the ass to type out thousands of lines of code. 2 hours of clicking and I have a new site, new domain and email address, new admin, FTP servers, all for $10! I also have a new set of business cards on the draft, but this is thanks to  Photoshop and not to Google. 


It's never been easier to publish and get heard. So what then makes it so hard for most people to have a voice? Moreover why are we still allowing textbook publishers and academic journal publishers to dictate to use how information must be organised. 


One of Karl Marx's key ideas was taking the means of production away from the owners of capital and putting it back into the hands of workers. Funny how capitalism has given me just that!
