Technology ADD

Wow, it's only been three years since I last posted on this blog. Time does fly. I didn't take the time even check what the last post was, so don't expect any continuation of thought on that front.

As a matter of fact, I'm thinking that you shouldn't expect any continuation of thought from me in general...I have self-diagnosed myself with Technology ADD.

I love technology. I work with it everyday and it is actually part of my job. I am discovering though that I'm not nearly the early adopter that I thought I was and I am definitely not a "stick with it" kind of guy.

I started this blog about the time that I created our own website (www.theborlands.net). I posted here and I updated pictures and such on the website. If you had the misfortune of actually trying to go to our site, you share in my disappointment. My updates on the website dropped from daily, to weekly to bi monthly to...well, let's just say it was a while. I then took the entire site down during my "situation" this time last year and have just flat neglected to put it back up (this despite continuing to pay godaddy for the right to do so...). My Technology ADD strikes for the second time. The blog...well the fact that this is my first post in nearly three years says it all...

I skipped the entire MySpace revolution, but jumped on the Facebook bandwagon belatedly. I did mange to fall deep in to the FB addiction whether it was Farmville, Mafia Wars or Castle Age (I sincerely apologize for the tons of unwelcome "invites" to those time wasters...). I would post constantly and felt the compulsion to comment on everyone's status (or at least let them know that I "liked" it. My friend list grew and grew until it makes it nearly impossible to keep up with status updates. Then my Technology ADD kicked in. I update my status rarely (today was one of those days) and find my self farther and farther between times I even check for messages. (My apologies again to those that this inconvenienced...)

I have now fully embraced the iPad. I love its functionality and versatility. I'm hoping I can find out more about how it works and it's uses before my Tech ADD strikes again. I'll keep you updated, but I'm not sure if it will be here or not...
