OK, OK, OK already!!!<\/p>\n

Michael Laine (of LiftPort<\/a> fame) has been pestering me\u00a0for the past few weeks to ‘get with it’ and start using some of the web tools out there to\u00a0post all of the Space Elevator photos I’ve taken over the past 2+ years.\u00a0 So, I’ve set up a Flickr account (‘Space Elevator Blogger’)<\/a>\u00a0and am beginning to post the many photos I’ve taken.\u00a0 I’m starting with the 2007 Space Elevator Games.\u00a0 Once those are done, I’ll move onto the 2006 Space Elevator Games and, hopefully, I’ll finish that before the 2009 Space Elevator Games\u00a0begin \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Michael has also convinced me to start a Twitter account<\/a>.\u00a0 And, if that’s not enough, he’s now trying to convince me to take a look at del.icio.us.<\/p>\n

I’m such a dinosaur, truly I am.\u00a0 I’m pretty computer-savvy, having spent my entire professional career in the computer software business, but I’m old-school –\u00a0my language of choice was COBOL.\u00a0 And, for kicks, I’d like to enter machine instructions via the toggle switches on an IBM 360.\u00a0\u00a0Mr. Laine, however,\u00a0is trying to upgrade me to Web 2.0 stuff.\u00a0 Oh, the humanity…<\/p>\n

OK Michael, if my head explodes, it’s all your fault…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
