Read Write Blah.

Quote for the day from Graham Wegner;
“……some who complain in the staffroom about not being able to turn off from school when they get home……..they just want their paycheck and to keep doing things the same way they been doing it for the last 10/20 years.”
It came amongst reference by Sparker to openess & bravery, and Jacob Morgan’s take on why we should be circumspect about the hype surrounding “friends for friends sake ” and posts in RWW about how Twitter is digging it’s own grave. .
.
Perhaps the whole access and usability thing is affecting our lives so greatly that we are begining to retreat back to the lounge and sit with our wives watching that ad-filled dumb arsed show about abandoned housewives.
.
Maybe our kids actually do want to talk with us…….our pets do want to be patted and perhaps we do need to get some exercise into these bulging guts of ours as we tap through yet another pointless night of write write blah.
.
Nah……we need this stuff.

It’s all about connectedness and crows feet

At first glance, I thought that looked like a photo of one of my old mates. But on closer inspection, the place is too tidy. Yep, everything’s connected these days and the time to be online is increasingly tight in between lego building, report writing, email replying, lawn mowing, committee meeting, so it means that I have to make it all count. Maybe that RSS Reader needs a good trim – who are the voices worthy of my attention and time. Maybe twitter dying mightn’t be a bad thing …having barely used in the past month, I wouldn’t miss too much. But the frustration of not writing something that connects is building with each passing day – my best quotes are floating off in IM netherworld or in response to those “it’s just a day job” practitioners who cross my path regularly – but I feel better now that I’ve let a few words loose here. And I feel almost prepared for tomorrow, almost caught up, almost…

…..and yet so much more needs to be said….so many more Twitters about ” opening beer can now” or a thousand tagged sites that one day we might go back and look at.
Oh for a good old Commodore 64 and some orange laminex with the Brady Bunch blaring in the background.
Things have spread up and sped up somewhat…..and for what ?

Keeps us off the streets, I suppose.
