A couple of nights it was still 100F at 11pm here in the San Gabriel valley. My skin crawled too because I couldn't really do any lettering work.

I truly detest my BlackBerry. It's major strength isn't that it does anything very well, but it does a mediocre job of doing a lot of things together. It does a less mediocre job than all of its competition and is the only one that does all of them, but that doesn't make it a good device. It just means it sucked less than the equivalent offerings from Palm. This is the only explanation I have for its success. The only reason why I have one is that work forced one on me. They used it to replace an alphanumeric pager, and it does a crappy job of replacing the pager because all the models before the one I have now just weren't loud enough to wake me up.

I feel like it is, most of the time. I was one of the last generation of teenagers who grew up without the internet, and I'm grateful for that. Now everyone will talk to me on line, but I can't get them to come and see me. I've been told by others that they have this problem, too. “Is that just giving in to the devil?”

Once a month, you have to unplug. jack-out and see how what it takes to function. It takes some time to get used to it, but eventually, you start to appreciate what technology can do, and what it doesn't have to do. I write everything, except blog comments, but including most emails, my last 2 novels, both graphic novels, both comic series, and all the poetry long-hand.
