Technology Sucks Part 3

Why me?

Once again, my laptop, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to betray me. Once again, my power supply is acting up, giving me on again, off again charge. I know how to fix it, but I have one stripped screw preventing me from opening my computer (which I have been told how to circumvent). Just another day in the life of everyone’s favorite animator!

Disconnected

Phoenix couldn’t phone home.

In fact, I was pretty much silenced for 5 days. My cell service had been accidentally been terminated, which posed an interesting situation. While I enjoyed the serenity of my phone not ringing, I do have work to do and people being unable to reach me doesn’t help. However, the break from constant travel and meetings helped me have more time to actually work. And as projects wind down, I look forward to an ever-elusive vacation. Til’ then, Phoenix keeps toiling.

On another note, as some may have noticed I recently redesigned my site. One of the things I added was an archive of all my blogs, and reading them made me realize that I need to bring back to humor to these things. You won’t know when the bad jokes will strike, but they will! So stay tuned…

Technology Sucks Part 2

To add to my, problems, my hard drive failed on me last week, and could not have come at a worse time. Oh well I guess. Anyone who owns a computer heed my words: BACK UP EVERYTHING! Oh and happy belated Easter, or as I like to call it………….Easter! (Ha…expecting something else weren’t you, like “Chocolate Bunny Day” or something of that nature….NO SOUP FOR YOU!…..err…sorry.)

Technology Sucks

I HATE COMPUTERS!

…however, its what I do, so I do what I can to coexist peacefully. But I can’t stand it! Between Yahoo! deleting my account (they still haven’t got back to me and it’s been a while) and my laptop’s power acting up (shows battery when it’s plugged in), I’m getting really frustrated. Oh well, stuff happens I guess.

Lastly, a movie review of sorts. I saw a movie this week called Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Now, I’ve seen many gory, gut-wrenching things in my day without a second thought, and was afraid that maybe I was becoming desensitized to things. This movie put me in my place. If you are the anti-social type and have someone who keeps pestering you, give them this movie and tell them it’s your favorite. If they still talk to you after that (or say it’s their favorite too) you may want to move to another state (or country). I’m sure there is a logical explanation for the film, but until I hear it, I guess this will be “that which I don’t speak of.”
