Here’s the part where I admit how LAME I am when it comes to new technology.
I was the last of my friends to get a cell phone, my typing skills are pathetic and I can barely answer an e-mail! I was told 10 years ago to get a website up to promote my projects and it took me 5 years to do it. When the myspace thing happened I pretty much ignored it and have been putting off Facebook and Twitter ’cause it has seemed overwhelming…Who has the time? (And if I dated you in 8th grade, I don’t want you to cyber-stalk me now!)
Fast forward to this week and the 21st century. I now have a site that I’m proud of, can actually access my iphone and just joined Facebook a couple of days ago. Probably because I’m techno-illiterate, they just disabled it for reasons unknown…I’ll get to the bottom of it tomorrow.
Now, ironically, I find myself hosting this weekend’s “Live From The Red Carpet” webcast for oscar.com and abc.com. It’ll be live from 3-5p.m. PST and you can ask questions on Facebook for me to ask the stars in real time. This is the first time the Oscars have done this and they are expecting millions of viewers. Should be a great time…Just don’t ask me to Twitter about it—just yet.
Have ya tried Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing?
It’s good.

I think there is a huge coterie of folks out there who take pride in NOT being internet savvy etc. My brother is a great dentist in Mesquite Texas but the cyber world is terra incognita as far as he’s concerned

So true! I’m trying to catch up, but for me, I love journaling.. now they call it blogging
..long hand. It takes forever but I feel more connected to the words.
