I kid you not. The newest version of Internet Explorer is deemed an "Experience" which is in some way better than just opening the program and using it. Not only does this mean I waste time blogging about a simple piece of technology that has made my life miserable. But also, it means I have to click 2 buttons to open a web browser and have to watch the stupid website load twice. I could blog on and on about the thought free progress we're getting on so many levels. In fact I think I will because this is the best way to earn advertising revenue on the web. Simply blog about technology shortcomings, then when people get fed up and google their problems, they will come across a whiney snivelling blog to console them. Here's your blog. Just click my advertising if you think Microsoft et. al. are dragging their feet. And blogs were never intended to rant and rave about advertising revenue.
Enough snivelling for now. My Mom told me today is going to be great. So I took that to mean I could pitch for breakfast at Subway. (and I think MLB is in the postseason now) Not only was my sub great, but I got a free cookie too. Now I'm chugging coffee and counting the opportunities that have been taken from me. Not a bad use of my time.
I'm not a huge fan of progress. But I've had my share of it. I'd like to think that now I'm distinguished and wise enough to carry myself through a day without collapsing from the pressure. But really I'm not that distinguished and I find myself checking out more now than ever. Mind you. These are problems whether or not you want them to be. I simply do not have the energy to do what needs to be done.
Now I'll ween out some books of my collection with cobwebs, sheet music I'll never perform, and cult classics that are more cult than classic.
