The inaugural White Rabbit Blog post

You would expect this post to have something of substance or at least tell you what is to come. There will be no substance and any attempt at describing the future of this blog will surely be proven incorrect over time. Nonetheless, here it is.

I plan to use this blog to provide some information about my thoughts on life the universe and anything I feel is worth my time. Original huh?
Almost certainly investment and finance will be heavily discussed. Some people have gotten direct emails from me that included ridiculously long missives about finance and investments. For them this blog is something of a continuation.

Why ‘White Rabbit’?
In one word, ‘because…’
If I must explain myself then there are any number of reasons for this nom-de-blog. It allows me to (sort of) hide my identity. I could have chosen any other name but the whole ‘follow the white rabbit’ theme works for me. References from Alice in Wonderland through The Matrix come to mind. In that respect the whole notion of finding how deep the rabbit hole goes really seems right.
Also, this will allow me to make broad and insulting comments about humans without risking being mistakenly lumped in with such uncouth creatures.


Why assume an identity?
Well it should be obvious I am not really a white rabbit. In fact there are patches of grey and brown in several spots in my fur. Seriously there will probably be some readers (assuming there are any at all) that will actually know who I am. Keep it to yourself. To them I say – you know where to find me if you must, without giving it away.

How often will there be new postings?
I really don’t know. But if I had to venture a guess, there will be stretches of many weeks without anything and periods of almost daily updates. My advice, use one of the standard ways of getting updates from blogs without having to go to the website daily. I use Google Reader for following blogs I like, but any of the RSS type services will work; or subscribe by email (once I put in the proper gadgets).

Who will the other contributors be (as alluded to in the subtitle)?
There are several that are possible, including the various voices in my head…

Well this is it for now. Off to find some new rabbit sized hole and possibly some lettuce.

All the best,
The White (and fluffy) Rabbit
