The Essence of "Thinking outside of the box"

What's up? - A direction away from the center of gravity of a celestial object.

I gave this a bit of thought, and figured this quote from bash.org would be an appropriate way to start my blog. I've heard people asking each other this question for years, and the person who thought this up, actually took the time to find a compleet and accurate answer to the literal interpretation of that question.

This required some thinking "outside of the box".

In the time to come, I will post some of my thoughts on different subjects on this blog. "Thinking outside the box" will be me, trying to look at problems and subjects from a new perspective without preconceptions through the process of lateral thought.

It's only fair to warn YOU (hello there dear reader) I've never been much of writer, and although I've been surfing the internet long enough to remember browsing on 16-bit operating systems, I never started a blog before.

So bare with me... it's gonna be a bumpy but refreshing ride!
