10 ways to cope without your computer

In thinking about a list of technology tricks I've got up my sleeve, I couldn't but help but notice that I have been using several social networking technologies to cope with my technological pain. I work alone at home, so unless I call somebody or actually reach out to meet and touch someone, I don't get to spread my discontent.

So I've resorted to using a myriad of technologies to ease my pain

  1. Blog about it.
  2. Twitter your screams of anguish with a 140 character AUUUUGH!
  3. Profile your unhappiness at MySpace with a long winded profile update.
  4. Vlog about it.
  5. Change your GTalk, AIM or iChat status to OMGWTF I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER!
  6. Close every email with a tally of the days you've survived without your tech.
  7. Wear a firewire chord around your wrist in solidarity with your computer (especially if it is a Mac)
  8. Podcast it
  9. Create a Facebook support group and asked to be superpoked with Powerbooks.
  10. Go to I has a cheezburger and go to town on their LOLCAT (and sometimes dogs) builder.

There!

I am actually going to create the Facebook group. I need all the superpokes I can get Laughing out loud

I feel your pain

my laptop was stolen a few years ago and I nearly went into a coma without a technological IV line going through my veins. Hope everything gets worked out soon.

Words to live by

"The church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors.... For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! Welcome atheism! Welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by these Divines! They convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Bolingbroke put together have done!"


— -- Frederick Douglass, "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro"
