Jim Cuene points out that: «Your Attention is What You do On the Web,» and that, he concludes is something valuable that you own and something for which you should be compensated.
When I went over for Sunday dinner with Mike and Cheryl, he took this photo of me and just this morning he uploaded it to his Flickr site. I liked it a lot, so I thought I'd set aside all false modesty and post it here. This was taken on September 11, 2005.
This article, The Upgraded Digital Divide: Are We Developing New Technologies Faster than Consumers Can Use Them? from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania says: «Complexity among consumer technology products has never been greater -- a good thing if the complexity means product improvement. But Wharton experts say new bells and whistles pose challenges to businesses and consumers alike. Complexity -- along with choice -- can have a big impact on how firms make and market new and improved gizmos, and on the decision processes of the people expected to buy them.»
What began as a nothing-better-to-do fill-in during my cable outage back in July has now continued for seventy two consecutive days without interruption. I've just come back from my morning walk around the neighborhood. I'm surprised that I haven't encountered heavy rains or some other weather phenomenon that would interfere with my walk, but I haven't. Perhaps it's because of the time of the year when this bit of exercise has occurred. The autumn and winter will be more of a weather challenge, I'm sure.
Yahoo! News reports: «A new Google Inc. specialty search engine sifts through the Internet's millions of frequently updated personal journals, a long-anticipated development expected to help propel 'blogging' into the cultural mainstream.
This morning I went for my appointment to file for Social Security at 10:30 am as scheduled, and the application process was relatively painless and even efficient. I had all the required documentation. I was called for my interview at about 10:40 am and by 11:10 am it was done. I should receive my first Social Security check the second week in October.
The other day I had an email from my friend, Stan Herman, in which he asked me to give him my current take on blogging's «uses and shortcomings.» He is thinking about starting to blog. Although I wrote him a response, his question has caused me to think about why I blog and what possible value there is in it. So I thought I'd use his question as a reason to think aloud about what I think about blogging after having done it now for over 3 years.
Read this warning from CNET News.com: «If you're one of the tens of millions of Yahoo users asked to upgrade your instant-messaging software this week, be on your toes: The update can open the door to unwanted PC houseguests--and setting changes--by default.»
For those of you who are interested, I have continued my morning routine of walking around the neighborhood since July 13th without interruption. I have just returned from today's morning walk, and since I retired recently my schedule has become a bit more predictable and regular. I have my radio set to come on at 6:00 am and after the usual required first activities of the day, I begin my walk by about 6:15 am each day. That means when I begin the walk it is still dark. As I walk, dawn begins to break and with each step more light is available to me. I have always enjoyed seeing the sun rise, so I really enjoy this time and this routine.
