Technology in a Box

This week we blog about technology. I think my blog should be coloured blue. I can't seem to hear the podcasts either at home or at work, and flickr has so far defeated me. But, I have packed lots of boxes! The ones with the computer books in them are on the bottom of the heap. I have the feeling I will finish 650th out of 650 in this course. But, I have mastered logging in to this blog. Don't laugh. It took me 3 days to figure this one out. You wouldn't believe that I'm also doing an honours year at university. Naturally, in an un-technological subject. But I have faith that, when I've moved house, my computer will move with me. So I persist. Maybe I'm not the only one making baby half-steps. Maybe there are others out there who share my confusion. We might succeed in learning something, if we keep at it long enough.

A Moving Dream

How many times do you move house in a lifetime? Moving houses is a special kind of time. It's a transitional time of uncertainty, confusion, and boxes! Lots of boxes. I'm moving house after 25 years and I have more boxes to think of than I can well keep track of. I wonder if it's better to hold the dread garage sale or simply give away a lot of accumulation of accretion of accumulation from over the years. So far I have opted for the relatives and friends route, with the remainder of the overflow headed for charity shops. I still have 100 wine boxes full of books to move! Surely moving is a strange seascape. Not a landfall yet.
