Freak!

It's true! I'm an honest to goodness tech freak. This has been revealed to me through a plethora (big word for a lot) of experiences.

First, one thing I've noticed about the people I know who are techies is that they rant...like really rant...for up to an hour...about some minuscule little thing. Like who cares that 62% of people are using the lousy browser called Internet Explorer, cause they don't know any better (luckily I'm only offending 13% of the visitors to my blog by trashing the browser they are using). Seriously, I want to go and inflict physical harm on the idiots who decide to install that as the default browser, instead of some faster and more useful browser like Firefox or Chrome. If they simply installed Mozilla as the default browser they would save millions of hours of people's time.That could save the economy, if people had more hours to spend working instead of waiting for their web browser to open (I do admit though that if offices banned the use of the internet it would increase productivity more). If that was all a lot of Latin to you, I'm just freaking out over what program is pre-installed on computers.

Also, I talk gibberish. I think I'm having this great conversation with someone and then I look at their face, which says "um, um, okay." Because it seems they don't even have a fundemental understanding of Facebook, Twitter, Flock, Digsby, and Google, let alone understand the underlying principles of social media and networking.

Third, I hate people's HDTVs. Part of my problem is my 20/20 vision. The other part is I know that you aren't supposed to see the little blocks which make up the picture. Either you need a TV that is so Hi-Definition that the pixels (blocks of color the picture is made out of) are too small to be distinguished or you just should use an old one, which isn't pixel based.

On top of all that, I dream of the perfect computer set up. It involves three 27" monitors, 12 gb of RAM, quad core processors, 7200 RPM 2 TB hard drives, 20 USB ports, dual install of XP and 7 Ultimate, three DVD/Blu-ray/CD Rom read write drives, a floppy drive, four firewire ports, a couple of card readers, Bose surround sound, a projector, a MacPro on the side, along with a Macbook air, and a luxury HP laptop. And that's just the beginning...

As you might have noticed I've been spending some time on the social media end of things, creating a Facebook page and a Twitter account for The Home Skooled. Please "Follow" and "Fan" me, so you can get daily humor, along with knowing when I've updated the blog.
