What’s all this then?
onionbagblog is essentially the online home of @Jason_Cobb. There is a rather boring story behind the name – so boring that I really can’t be bothered to even type it out into a solitary sentence. Like most early modern interweb mistakes, the domain was foolishly bought after a particularly long soak in the bath. Now it seems I’m stuck with it.
I’ve been blogging since 2003, mainly reflecting the issues, area and wonderful people around me in South London. What you’re seeing in front of you is the *shhh* 2.0 Wordpress version of onionbagblog. I felt restricted by the old Blogger platform, and wanted the flexibility that WP presents. It seemed pointless importing over all the old posts – WYSIWYG.
I’m passionate about working online to bring about a greater shared goal. I also like messing around with Photoshop, podcasts and poking around in the back end of systems.
My work involves using social media to manage online communities. I am also responsible for developing and producing a number of local education websites. If you pay me enough, you may even persuade me to accept a photography booking once again.
But that’s all for the day job. Around these parts and you’re more likely to read about cycling, swimming and South London. This pretty much sums up my offline life. Cricket, photography, local politics and technology would also appear in my lonely-hearts ad. I don’t think I’d get many takers.
