Yeah, its been awhile since I posted something...

It's looking like Blogger might go the way of AOL for me-- it was fun while it was new and exciting, then it just sort of fizzled out. My sister says that she hasn't posted in 6 months because she's been cheating on Blogger with Facebook, and I have to admit that I'm moving in that direction too....

It's interesting to see how it quickly different technology can change your habits. I started this blog on a whim over a 24-hour layover at the airport in Baghdad because I was bored. Blogging might be leaving my life just as quickly as it entered. :) It's kind of annoying that private blogs won't show up on google reader because they are authenticated feeds.... and since most of my family that have blogs have made them private, its a pain to have to manually check them to add comments and such....

The most recent example of technology changing my habits is regarding picture taking. I used to bring my camera with me every time I went on a big trip somewhere, to birthday parties, big events and such-- but now that everyone just uploads their pictures to facebook and tags everyone, I've gotten lazy and I don't feel like I need to bring my camera along. I'll just look at everyone else's pictures. Since they are going to have their camera anyway, why should we all be snapping tons of pictures? why not just trade off taking pictures with a 1 or 2 cameras instead of 6 or 7 of them? Does anybody else do the same thing?
