The Low-Tech Times

In general, I hate articles you have to keep clicking to see each item, but I will link to this one Evan Shamoon wrote for Switched.com.  It would be much better for the readers to see the list first and then get to click any item they want to find out more about.  But a lot of sites just cares about pageviews, so they make you click through the whole article.

I took a picture this morning.

Low-tech Misbehaving

I like to rail against people who do text messaging while driving, but to be fair it’s not just high-tech addicts who have a problem.  This morning I noticed an idiot reading a book while driving on I-66.  As a safe alternative, I suggest reading at home before bed instead of when behind the wheel.

Getting Old

My wife and I decided to skip the New Year’s Party scene tonight and stay home.  I built a fire and turned on free TV.  The Terminator movie is playing on Ion Television.

Happy New Year!
