Hello World! – Get Some Gumption

Hello.

Having spent a lot of time sitting around surfing the information superhighway, producing a fairly general purpose web log, (or blog as they are more commonly known), seemed like the natural thing to do, so here we go…

Welcome to Technogumption dot com. This unusual name came as a result of a quick brainstorming session. We wanted the name to reflect the content of the site in some way. Our main intellectual(ish) pursuits can be broadly described as being based on technology and going about the business of life. So we came up with some words that described the blog feel we wanted to achieve, then using online dictionary and thesaurus websites to find definitions and alternative words and phrases, we came up “technogumption”. Technogumption is the amalgamation of two great words, “technology”, (which is fairly obvious, although covers a wider field than most people initially assume), and “gumption”, is a sense of drive, audacity, having the capacity to achieve, etc.

If you have “technogumption” you have the ability to overcome real world obstacles through researching and learning about technology and techniques, from the ground up, allowing you to achieve virtually anything.

We hope you enjoy our blog.
