Blogging from my phone

I'm just testing a new app I have. What better way to test than to include a pic of our household besties, Brigid and Pecan, chillin' together.

We have internet at home! Woot! I will now be able to post a bit more than recently. My posts and thoughts seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle of the last few months. I would write everything down I needed to do on the internet, pack up all bits and pieces, and trek over to Craig's office or the library to get connected. I would then realize I had hours of stuff to cram into a fraction of that time and thus posting ended up last and was never done.

I now have no excuse. To increase my excuse-less status, I now have a fully repaired computer. I took my Mac into the Apple store today and in one hour they not only gave me a totally new hard drive (goodbye old hard drive and along with it pictures from Seattle from our visit for Craig's interview and a bunch of notes for myself on stickie notes) but also a new external case for the computer as my old plastic one was chipped and cracked. They completed this helpful and speedy service for FREE! Woot! Apparently my warranty is still good. Yay!

Thank goodness I had recently backed up my comptuer so I didn't lose too much data.

Best. Day. Ever.

Techno-joy? Techno-fear?

I like to think that while being relatively tech-saavy, I'm not wholly dependent upon our plugged in brethren.  My recent (pointless) foray into Twitter tells me otherwise.**

In the last 30 minutes I have managed to create a Twitter account, set up my cell phone so I can update from it, link Twitter to my Facebook account so I can update my FB status from Twitter, and link Twitter to my blog to make sure that aside from pointless daily drivel in blog form, anyone who's bored enough to stumble on this page and read something can also find out what I'm doing *thisminute* via either my Twitter page or my cell phone.  I should be appalled and I am on a tiny level.  Sadly, the greater emotion I'm experiencing is fascination.  hehe  I love Twitter's streamlined appearance and (relatively) intuitive approach.  I think it's kind of nifty (yes, nifty) that I can be wandering around Target and send an update to Twitter to let my whole one follower (who's probably with me in Target anyway as he's married to me) know that I'm in consumeristic heaven.  

*sigh*

I thought I could avoid some of the technological fluff that's out there.  I thought that my disgust with the Kindle concept and my numerous activites outside and away from the computer would distinguish me from technophiles.  But, no.  I love all of this random technological crap that allows us to know way more than we ever should about our friends and relatives at the same time allowing us to share to the same deep, slightly disturbing levels with them.  I love it all.

Somebody save me from myself.

**It should be noted that I blame my new interest in Twitter on Craig.  He's the real technophile.  I'm the lemming that follows along after.
