On Being Old and Blogging

Blogging, or web-logging, is a new media for the new generation. Though not as old as some, I'm still not as young as others. Blogging is a digital journal, a way to express in hyperreality through what I call hypercommunicative activities. Let's all wear shirts that say witicisms, and hats with little sayings, too! How about if we walk around with signs on our backs? Kick me! I'm with Stupid! I run with scissors! (and I do...) :)

My jury is still out on all of this, but new media and the history of technology--yes, the same history that stretches back to the mid-1800's with the industrial revolution and the advent of the factory--is the same history involved in my medical humanities passion. Without technology, would we be able to live through diseases like cancer? But, the yang of that yin is, without technology, would cancer exist at all?

I'm outtie (Clueless). Goodnight, felow Alchemists! The Universe is conspiring all around you--look for it!
