Lo-Tech
Although I write for an online magazine, I'm no techie. So when I ran into a group of World Mobile Congress delegates, middle-aged and in cheap suits, debating the virtues of Windows Mobile 6.5, I quietly wept inside, missing the German hipsters and Italian fashion victims from Bread & Butter already.
Yet, with no more B&B's, I'm fully aware that we should be grateful for those WMC people. And in an effort to empathize, this week I've tried to embrace techno-geeky.
It's hard, though. That Twitter thing is just strange (Do you follow?). And after weeding out things that would definitely come back to haunt me ("18. I was known in hihg school as the bra stuffer."), I'm stuck at 12 for that Facebook list of 25 Random Things About Me.
But I may have found my thing with Wallpeople this Saturday. They are inviting everybody to bring a photo, which will then become part of this giant, real-life photo mosaic.
Geeky albeit lo-tech but, even if my photo ends up being the pimple of a huge face, it could've been much worse. ("14. I quite fancied the father of my ex.")
Wallpeople - 12h-17h Saturday February 21
