“Dubious questioning is a much better evidence than that senseless deadness which most take for believing. People that know nothing… have no doubts. Never be afraid to doubt, if only you have the disposition to believe, and doubt in order that you may end in believing the truth.”
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge

A short and unreliable history of etnobofin.com:

etnobofin started in Auckland, New Zealand, and after several years in Oxford and a stint in Birmingham, I’m now infesting Montpellier (that’s in France).

etnobofin has been providing “free parking for improvisation in multiple environments” since September 2004. But since nobody understands what that means, (least of all me), it’s mainly about life, music, friends, faith, travel and anything else that bubbles up.

For a while there was a shedload of jazz happening here, and cats and kittens popped in from around the world to sample the sounds. Jazz still appears occasionally, but generally is more of a skulking, guilty presence, and many of the cats and kittens have found other kitchen doors in the neighbourhood to paw against.

Despite the cats, there’s also been a healthy population of parrots here too. They’re called keas (Nestor notabilis) and like the blog’s author, they come from New Zealand.
