I may have failed at baby books and family photo albums for the past 17 years. Sure, I’ve taken thousands and thousands of pictures. Where are they? They’re stored on my external hard drive in “virtual albums”. I mean this is the digital age, right? </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica;">Speaking of digital age, I’d like to believe that I’m pretty well-versed in the technical department. It all started when I wanted to know what made the red nose light up on my Operation Game. I dis-assembled that one really quickly. That was only the beginning. I wanted to know how everything worked. I took EVERTHING apart. (Sometimes, I wouldn’t put them back together. This drove my parents nuts.)I quickly became a gadget gu-ru. I love to fix things, research the internet, work on digital images, edit music, etc. If I don’t know how to do it, I’ll teach myself. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica;">Why am I writing about all of this techno mumble jumble? Because there is one thing that I have always wanted to do, but I just kept putting it off over the years. I wanted to take a stab at keeping a BLOG. “Blog”…what a strange word. It seems simple. It’s essentially an online journal…or whatever  the author wants it to be. I think I’ve been afraid to post a blog because I tend to be too critical of my work. I’m a teacher. I set high expectations for my students. I’ve been afraid that anything I write may not be technically correct, creative, or entertaining. But something has changed in me that has forced me to ingore those fears. </span></p></div> Thu, 09 Oct 2014 09:25:41 -0500 http://www.humphries4.com/blog/first-post/
