Modern Voodoo

I love craigslist.

Since we’re moving I need to get rid of a lot of stuff. We’re moving from 3200 square feet to about 1750 square feet and we have waaaaaaay too much crap for that. So I’m downsizing.

I considered Freecycle for several things, but I’m so happy with craigslist I’ve started sending things there with great success.

How did we really get along before the internet? Seriously, it’s made my life so much richer.

I turn to the internet for practically everything. I don’t have a recipe card file anymore because I can get any recipe I want on the internet. If I need to buy something I will at the very least research it online first. I have numerous friends online all over the world and even my best friend and I converse daily- through IM.

My brother lives quite a ways away from me. Now we can “see” each other any time we want via video chat (through the internet).

I even get email on my phone. What’s really crazy is that I have VOIP at home so if you call me at home and I’m not there, you’ll get voice mail. That voice mail will be emailed to me, where I’ll pick it up on my Blackberry and hear it. Crazy.

When I was growing up we didn’t even have cable until I was eyeballing puberty! Now I’m getting emailed voice messages on a phone smaller than my TV remote! Wonder what’s coming in my daughter’s time.

The local radio stations here suck, but that’s OK because I listen to radio on the internet mostly anyway. Except when I’m in my car, then I listen to satellite radio.

All this technology and progress and I still can not find a job. Amazing.

Oh well, if someone decides they want to hire me at least they can get in touch with me!
