| 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.")
