Round 2 - Once more with feeling

I've learned several things since I last posted, just as a matter of being curious and taking advantage of opportunities (and serendipity):

1) Tech Talk program on Guitar Hero (hits from my formative years, like Cheap Trick)and other Gaming software. Perhaps I can bowl better in virtual reality than I can in real life. NOT that that is what influences my voting choices . . .

2) Seeing pictures of my new sister-in-law and nephew in Romania, via my Macbook and photos which my brother brought over on a flashdrive - some had been sent to him that very morning. Also seeing a video of their Christmas via the TV and Dan's $150 little video camera (forgot name of the device).

3) Downloading podcasts of PLA programs - now I'll have to listen to them when I'm at my desk (at that rate, it will take until PLA 2010 . . .)

4) Seeing new technologies at PLA, such as Overdrive

5) And just the fact that I've pretty much abandoned the "mainstream media" in favor of news sources and blogs on the Internet.
