"I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his hability".

Oscar Wilde.

Beatrice: How many blogs are out there? Probably millions, and still counting? My blog qualifies as another ego trip to the Blogosphere. After years of nagging my friends through emails, I am starting a blog for the sake of learning new skills & tricks. I am not concerned about readership. For someone viscerally opposed to social networks because of their debilitating impacts on adult sanity, blogging will be an up-to-date alternative and a new technology frontier for me. As the blogosphere is out of control, with zillion mostly inactive blogs, the first challenge for the budding blogger is to identify a name still available. I had to compromise. My first choice was “wikibea” because it sounds like a famous website. The name is no longer available, seemingly taken by a dead blogger. This blog has been inactive for years. My blog will display a hotchpotch of travelogs, anecdotes,politically incorrect dispatched from Rio de Janeiro where the cariocas live. Wikibea-carioca will start as a one-way traffic. Hopefully, it will provoke a two-way traffic. The curmudgeon inside me will do its best to keep the wikiwiki on the road!
