Typewriter Technology
to TWITTER
and Back

Hi, if you are coming from my Twitter link to this site . . . boy do I feel like an out of date Geek. I don't know if the technology just keeps changing faster and faster or I'm getting slower and slower to learn and understand all these new things . . . facebook, twitter, linkedia, youtube, social media feels like a social mess to me, but fun.

The first "keyboard" I ever used is pictured to the right. I'm not as old as this typewriter (which sits in my home office today) It was my fathers and the new amazing typewriter technology of my youth was a Smith Corona "Electric" typewriter. I will be forever grateful for the touch typing class I took in high school that I hated at the time and could have never imagined that one day I would be typing on a keyboard hours and hours every day (and night).

My first computer was this Macintosh 128K that I have stored in my basement in anticipation of someday creating the Marshall's Museum of outdated Personal Computers that I've owned. The First day I bought it (the week Steve Jobs introduced them), I stayed up 24 hours straight playing with this new program called MacPaint drawing boats and my career in computer graphics began.

I've made a living in some form or fashion with something to do with pushing pixels around a screen on a computer ever since. That was 24 years ago. I now carry a computer in my pocket (Treo) that probably has 1000x the power and memory of this cute Mac, that by the way still works. GREAT Technology!
