Technology. Tastes great. Less filling.

 

This week I had problems with every piece of hardware, every piece of software, and every technology service provider important to my business.  In the spirit of technology anxiety, I offer this photo as the best use for a computer.  Also, the keyboard can be used as a very stylish serving tray for an assortment of cheese and crackers.

This picture was sent to me by my friend Carrie. We went to kindergarten together.   Only kindergarten.   She found me on Facebook.  Pretty cool.  OK, maybe technology ain’t all bad.

    Great pic, Mark. Fun way to end the week. Reminds me of the quote, “To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer.” (Paul Ehrlich)

    @Jon The good news is, you live in Sweden. Do you really even need a fridge right now? : )

    Mark – Just hold on until Saturday. We’re in the last week of Mercury retrograde – a time when technology and communications of all kinds tend to go haywire. This is not a good time, for instance, to make a big investment, or sign a hug new biz deal. I know it sounds a little flaky, but I can attest to the reality of the phenomenon … thank goodness it only happens a few times a year!
    Good luck with that computer.

    PS – I love your humorous posts, too! :)

  • Comment Of The Week

    From Paul Castain
    "I’ve had this discussion many times and find myself feeling rather silly for referring to Social Media as being “spiritual”. But I too, stand by that description. The context I was using it in is the same as yours but I was driving at a different point. When we embrace social media and just spew information, we don’t interact and we shamelessly self promote, in many ways we are being disrespectful to the spirituality of the venue."[more]
