Let’s face fax.

Today is significant.  Why?  Well, one could argue that EVERYDAY is significant…  but today really is.  TODAY is the day that Betsy Rowbottom is being launched into the world.  Well, technically, that happened in the ’70’s, but I’m talking about http://www.betsyrowbottom.com/ which is almost as exciting!  I’m not an early adopter (clearly) in some areas… My baby blog was born today.

When is the last time you heard the phrase, “I’ll fax that to you!”?  Today, as we celebrate http://www.betsyrowbottom.com/, let’s stop and ponder the relatively fast demise of fax machines.  Remember when the early fax machines were only slightly smaller than a high MPG automobile?  Where are they now?  Landfills?  Fish habitats?  http://www.betsyrowbottom.com/ is virtual.  I kinda love virtual stuff.  Fish can live in coral reefs where they are supposed to, blogs can’t hurt them (Well, except for those amazing food blogs with the beautiful photos of delicious recipes that glorify eating fish).  I’m looking at you, Matt!  http://mattbites.com/

The pace of pop culture is speeding up because the speed of information is speeding up.  Early adopters keep moving.  I want to be an early adopter in everything, but that feels overwhelming.  For now, I’m content to use technology in meaningful ways to me.  That way, it stops feeling overwhelming and it just feels right.

Long live http://www.betsyrowbottom.com/!
