The start of Something Great

I heard a term the other day (the other year, actually): Pre-tech. It refers to that demographic for whom cell phones are an enigma beyond human comprehension and the Internet is, well not the antichrist, but potentially a tool in his hands. Actually, that's probably a bit harsh. But have you ever got to an ATM and the person in the queue in front of you approaches the machine holding their card like its a fire arm and they're not sure that they don't actually have to hold up the machine to get it to give them money? Pre-tech. Not that its a generational thing. Let's face it, Steve whatshisname, the Apple CEO is practically a bullet and I don't even know how to turn on an iPhone.

No. Pre-tech refers to that state of technological sophistication which separates the men from the geeks. You either have it or you don't. And don't wave that iPhone at me like you know how to use it; if you feel the need to prove that you can, you probably can't. But my point is that it has been with reluctance and much previewing that I have set up this blog. And as I'm typing, I still have little confidence that this will result in a coherent posting which can  be viewed by the admiring public. (If you're reading this then I guess it worked.)

So pray for me. I hope to have more useful posts in the future; things like the quickest Rubix Cube solution, where ball-point pens go when they die, that type of thing. But for now, this is it. And to my loyal fans out there: I love you, Mom.
