Forgetting to Write
Do you ever think that we sometimes let technology take over too much of our lives. Yes, the whole purpose of all these breakthroughs is for it to make it less complicated to cope with task and really have more control over our routines but it can also have quite the opposite effect in diminishing simple acts such as calling rather than texting or writing rather that typing.
When was the last time that you physically wrote a letter? Not with a keyboard or your mobile device but with pen and paper. My intentions were sincere when I tried this the other day as I pull out my pad and Pilot pen but I must have spent more time in ensuring that I was holding the pen correctly to justify as to why my hand had a slight tremble to it. From friends and family equal, I’ve always received compliments on my penmanship despite “being a guy” they would say but it worried me for a moment that I might have lost my touch.
Subconsciously I’ve transformed the word “writing” to typing because of my reliance of technology. The only time I generally hold a pen is for signature purposes. Ironically enough, I typed this entire post when I should have practiced my writing instead. Oh well.
In continuation with all the wedding planning, we’ve decided to have a destination wedding in Puerto Rico in May of 2009. After endless emails and phone calls with several locations, we narrowed our venues to two, both of which we’ll be visiting to finalize reservations on when we fly down to the beautiful island in October.
As far as the attendants, instead of letting the guest list drive this special occasion, we had from the outset decided on a small and intimate wedding to be shared with family and close friends and not something extravagant that would leave us in debt and spending most of the evening greeting guess rather than enjoying the moment.
With 10.5 update, Apple has taken advantage of the release to not only patch some hiccups but to refresh a very underused icon for me; the iDisk icon. Cute little purple thing. Apple icons have always been aesthetically pleasing to look at and I sometimes wonder who the designers behind some of these are. Mike Matas is currently one employed with Apple but specific work that he or others may have contributed their skills to is generally never disclosed.
