I'll so my best to post shorter posts more frequently.
Don't look for me to be tweeting on Twitter; I'd be embarrassed to say the words and embarrassed to be competing for a number of "followers." It's all gone too far, the pulling oneself out of where he is and what he is doing to tell people where he is and what he is doing.
I wonder if Andy Warhol saw that coming, the self-awareness, no the self-conscious megalomania of it all.
I had had it with cellphones, cellphone use in public while engaged in something else, when they first came out. I wish I could pass on the Hong Kong HHH joke about them, but it's not only not for families but not for most Americans' ("oh, pssst shhhh psss mmmbl pssss") prudishly tender eyes and ears.
The last straw with cellphones was seeing people chatting away in the grocery store while the teller was totalling their purchases and asking for payment. Nice way to really show disregard and disrespect for service people as invisible non-entities with whom one might want to interact, eh?
People are getting very far removed from reality through these small communications devices that give the illusion of being "in touch with the world."
I, myself, do love to blog, as I think about things and have not been in touch with many people who do so also for the past seven years; it's also good for my writing.
