I thought I'd never have a cell phone; and I held out until last year, 2008. I realized that if the car broke down somewhere, there wasn't likely to be a payphone nearby. Especially since
AT&T exited the payphone business that year. So I bought a pre-paid cell phone. And I found out how useful it was to be able to make a phone call any time, almost anywhere. Stuck at an airport? On a bus? No problem. And now with Google's
Android mobile phone operating system, you can do all kinds of
cool stuff, including things I wish I could do with a PC-based web browser.
Now blogging. Something I thought I would never do. But I think I'm so full of interesting ideas and wisdom, that maybe someone might find it of value. Or not! I plan on spouting ideas on the economic meltdown, sound financial advice, and maybe a lot of "I remember when..." like this:
- I remember when Xerox copy machines first came out; they produced a negative image, and cost 25 cents each at the library.
- I remember when cross-over SUVs were called station wagons.
