Technology. Love it, hate it. It brings freedom of all sorts, and opportunity. I understand why they make it easier and easier for any and everyone to be a __________. But the influx of crap as a result is so exponential that the percentage of things worthy enough to participate in dwindles to borderline extinction. Blogs, podcasts, music videos, MP3s - check out my band, check out my movie, check out my friend&amp;rsquo;s band ... the 15 minutes has turned into 15 Gigabytes - more often than not of fame, but of crap. Homogonized feh-arts for the masses. Broadband lacking any quality available to all for free ... well not exactly free, the price paid is time, which is one of those things that is more precious than a dollar sign. No matter how much money you have when time runs out, you can&amp;rsquo;t buy more. Everything being pushed so far into extremes, that extreme anything is boring. Quiet time is is more appealing now. A moment of rest from the constant out pouring. I making my living participating in it, so don&amp;rsquo;t take it personally. I just know and admit that what I do is add to the digital landfill of the interweb. Someday the power will go out. It&amp;rsquo;ll be quiet. And maybe then I&amp;rsquo;ll have the inspiration and time to create something that really is a piece of art. But I&amp;rsquo;ll probablly end up thinking it&amp;rsquo;s crap anyway. Just like this. I hate blogs. Let's play Scrabble in the sun instead. Kill your television? Kill your computer. Such a shame that in order to be relevant, we all need to remain plugged in. Creative atrophe. I write better with a pen and paper. Then I can doodle, and it's not all in a predesigned font and format. </div> Wed, 13 Jul 2005 10:07:04 GMT http://people.tribe.net/atomicpopmonkey/blog/a3e6ab09-754f-4d8e-890f-3955891544c5 atomicpopmonkey 2005-07-13T10:07:04Z http://people.tribe.net/atomicpopmonkey/blog/04cbfec6-ad89-476a-938e-da5d95f43891 <div>This summer has been busy!
