Blatant OptimismA blog about technology media and society. That got sidetracked by silliness and politics. <br/>And then further by a small person called Daisy.Bish Bash Bosch- April 20, 2008 Well, that was something of a relief. Our dishwasher had packed up - wouldn't empty, time to complete indicator numbers going upwards, plates coming out with gubbins still all over them. I've been pretty cavalier in the past about fixing washing machines, in fact my tips for how to unblock the pump on a hotpoint remains one of the most popular posts on this blog. But dishwashers Um... It's like the difference between manual and automatic gearboxes. There's all this extra stuff going on that.http://www.sparklefluff.com/blatantoptimism/archive/001417.html Blogging - is it now the equivalent of longhand- April 16, 2008 I've been puzzling about the lack of activity on this blog for a while now. Given that it used to be such an important part of my life, my stage on which I performed (or showed off, if you're being less charitable) why has it fallen apart. I suspect that, like many of those who first rushed into the internet, email and the anonymity of digital media gave a chance to practice social skills who'd never been much good at it in the first place. Some of us didn't get any better and desceneded into.http://www.sparklefluff.com/blatantoptimism/archive/001416.html |
