FEED ME!

Something happened over the past year or so. I ceased to be a complete luddite and began using technology. Almost everyone saw it coming. I mean, it was hard to escape it growing up the daughter of a computer programmer, and going to library school certainly didn't help. Being the only one at a party not hitting the smart phone wasn't that much fun either. And so I dabbled. The first time I experimented was with Twitter. Meh. It wasn't really for me. Next was wikis. And that was just too much for me. But then one fateful day, I tried Google Reader. It was everything I never asked for but always wanted. Ever since then I've been a blog junky. I subscribe to 50+ blogs and check them compulsively. The only direct trip I ever make to a blog is when it's linked from another blog. When the only subscription option on a blog is an email update, I scoff. It's basically just crazy talk.

My benefactress of a friend recently gave me a smartphone. An Android, to be specific. And although I haven't yet connected it to my plan, I'm already dreaming of the day when I can read blogs over lunch in the park, subscribe to a feed from my bed, and finally, pull up posts at parties just like the techie big kids.
