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

"I am tolerant of all creeds. Yet if any sect suffered itself to be used for political objects I would meet it by political opposition. In my view church and state should be separate, not only in form, but fact. Religion and politics should not be mingled."


— -- Millard Fillmore, address during 1856 Presidential election, from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
