Holler If Ya Gotta
No more of these wiggy test posts needed. So I have a blog now and it’s fabulous, and you all can shut up now. There was a time when I could hang out with my friends and they would turn their heads askew and say “you need to start blogging again” and I would mutter some half-hearted excuse why I wasn’t. Those days are behind us and it’s about time.
A while ago I fell into a deep disenchantment about blogging, which spread to the part of my psyche that holds my thoughts about technology, computing, and the digital life. Years worth of late nights in my parents’ basement shriveled and died. Every morning, while driving to my job in the suburbs of Toronto, spurred on by CBC Radio, I would curse technology, the high-tech industry, the manufacturers and the solution-peddlers who were my employers at the time. My lust for the stuff had faded. Five years in school, and so many questions. Why was I working in telecommunications when I don’t particularly like cell phones? Of all the features we offer, which ones have a conceivable use beyond novelty? Were these solutions to problems we seemed to be creating ourselves, for fun? Much of the tech industry seemed to me then a tragic Sisyphusean futility, work created in order to create more work. A job begets a job.
I am over that now, because it’s just a job. I’m over a lot more things, some of them unpleasant and others not so much. I will be updating this blog all the time. Like, continuous non-stop blog coming atcha so guard your grill. I will not talk about pop entertainment, and I will detail every sexual encounter I have from now on in sordid, skin-slapping detail. So keep coming back, and also, add me to your “blogroll” (I can’t use that word non-ironically) which means your list of links. And don’t click on too much around here, because it’s not all working yet.
