They say that the Sixth Sense will change your life. No, not M Night Shyamalan's ghost movie, but something with a twist that is much more impressive.
You may remember my post from a few months back where I claimed to hate technology. That is still the case. I am analog through and through.
As a quick aside, I was driving with an acquaintance recently, jamming some bad Pat Benatar on my iPod, but routed through the tape deck in my car via those old cassette adapters that came out way back when with the invention of the Discman. "What the hell is a Discman?" you ask. I don't have time to go into it, but trust me, the tech is outdated. The dude in the car with me, being the type of person that cares about stuff like that, made some quip about how it was appropriate that I was blaring stale pseudo-rock through a jurassic tape deck. Guess what? I don't give a care. And I'll rock "We Belong" all night long.But back to not-Night's Sixth Sense. I hate technology. The problem is that technology just keeps getting easier and easier to integrate into my life of cassette tapes and butter churns. Also, I have to market myself. I wish that weren't the case, but it is true. I have to market myself like I am hawking spray-on-hair on cable television at 2am. "What the hell is spray on hair?" you ask? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it is outdated tech as well.
Anyway, with the combination of living in a digital world and needing to tell others about my work, I am put in the position of having to accept the notion that interfacing with technology is a real part of my future. Imagine then, my excitement to hear about the Sixth Sense--software that will, some day soon, provide me with a paper laptop!
If you love technology as much as I do, check out TED. If you love Pat Benatar and Thomas Dolby as much as I do, let's hang out.
