Computer Culture Brain Shock Waves

The culture of American computerland is oftentimes so baffling. For an edgy raring antique curmudgeon it is enough to make a man tear his hair out. I was raised in the Middle Ages with an old hunt and peck typewriter and also old me worked in the news biz with pieces of paper and a plain no. 2 pencil scribbling away notes and headlines etc. And now I am in the souped-up techie world of iphones, laptops, tablets, ipads, new amazon kindle fire devices etc. Ain't life grand. Had a rugged computer prob tonight but somehow with much praying and sweating I got things fixed up. Life in mod-computer culture U.S. 2011 is quite complex but in its own way it shows a man the value of keeping a positive attitude plunked down in his feisty brain. Norman Mailer-style energy helped old me this evening.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
