Thoughts on blogging - Perhaps I didn't want to get your attention

I have received a comment on my first blog entry and I don't think I like it. Perhaps I'm evoking DNA's rule 3 - & anyway, reading someone's diary is rude, but I did ask for it, I put it out there. This is the reason I don't have a stream of conscience blog, travel pod blog etc etc. It's too embarassing & I wouldn't make any money from it anyway - don't think I have original thoughts. Oscar Wilde believed there were two types of people in the world: the charming and the tedious. It's my belief that too many of the latter are bloggers!

We use Flickr, at home, to send photos to people we know. We produce the boy's soccer blogs but they are different, they're functional, they're newsletters, information dissemination, bit of cookery and match reports. These "blogs" are an easy place to put all the info the soccer parents need to get their kids to soccer on time without multiple emails back, forth & all around.
Rationalizations are wonderful things! I feel better already. Time to put on the Golden soccer boots & float through the rest of the day.

Blogging Thing #1 & #2

Lifelong learning (c'est normale!) it's just life as usual for most of us with a brains bigger than a bird. As I sit here at home in front of the iMac, two PeeWees (see, name indicates brain size) are flying into our glass windows. They are either in love with the two spunky birds they see in the glass, or want to beat the ugly buggers to a pulp. I really wish they'd let me take a photo, maybe they're a little smarter than I think - no evidence allowed.

But back to lifelong learning which is merely what one does to live this long life (i.e. live as opposed to just exist). I love clever people & clever quotes so Douglas Adams is a favourite of mine. He had a set of rules to describe our reactions to technologies:

1. Anything that is in the world when you are born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that is invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Without giving too much away I'd like to push out that upper age limit to ... well, that would give too much away so let's just challenge DNA's rule 3 to be willing lifelong learners (with our prettiest shoes on)!

Well this all seems easy enough, at least when one remembers the password!
