Dashing through the
stacks
with a Kindle in my arms
Dodgin' folks dirty looks
They're immune to e-book charms
Hand-held ring tones sing
Mine plays Three Dog Night
What fun it is to mobilize
My library tonight.
Oh, blog and chat, LOL
Facebook all the way
Oh, what fun it is to Tweet
my deep thoughts every day
Blog and chat, LOL
Facebook all the way
My status says "I'm almost
home."
More WordTwist I will play.
I used to go offline
But now it makes me Jones
How can you dodge the grid
with Netbooks and iPhones?
I need something more real
I'll go and play the Wii
And do my printing with e-ink
It's green to save a tree.
Oh, blog and chat, LOL
Facebook all the way
Oh, what fun it is to Tweet
my deep thoughts every day
Blog and chat, LOL
Facebook all the way
My status is an inside joke
Is that clever or cliché?
A dozen years ago
There was no Google search
No fickr, eBay, or YouTube
The world was in the lurch
One-forty keystrokes more
What did we do before?
We read whole books and saw our friends
It really was a bore.
Oh, blog and chat, LOL
Facebook all the way
Oh, what fun it is to Tweet
my deep thoughts every day
Blog and chat, LOL
Facebook all the way
I'll see you all in Twenty-Ten
Enjoy the holiday!

Happy Holidays everyone.

Shame has always been a good motivator for me. My colleagues remind me of the dry spell that is my blog. I've barely kept up on Twitter and FaceBook. If you're waiting for a LinkedIn respsonse, my apologies. But the best shaming came last night when my 11-year-old daughter, Emma pointed out that a quick glance at my blog indicated that I had not written anything new in months. Of course, she said it with a tone that also indicated that my blog posts were somehow akin to an LP collection, as in "how quaint that you still try to keep it going."
It's almost time for my annual holiday post, so look for that in a couple of days...and my New Year''s resolution will be to use this forum to update folks on the initiatives that have kept me too busy to write about them.
So shame is my motivator, not only to get the blog going again, but to prove to my digitally born child that the medium is still worthwhile.
