My first typing lessons were on an old black typewriter. You know the kind. It had high round metal buttons perched in such a way they it required brute force to push down and produce a letter on the paper in the carriage. I thought it was a thing of wonder. In my senior year of high school I was introduced to the "electric" typewriter and cautioned to keep my hands away from the speeding carriage or risk being maimed for life. We were not allowed to chew gum in class because the teacher swore that our chewing speeds match that of our typing and was objectionable to her.
Now I have this wonderful tool, the computer, to enhance my life in so many ways. And while I have been using computer software and "surfing the net" for some time now I am still amazed and delighted every day by the joy it brings to my life. Just the graphic software alone has given me so much creative freedom. And while it all is overhwhelming sometimes I continue to embrace the technology and get excited to learn something new every single day!
Technology: The new frontier
It Takes Time to Re-invent Oneself
This week I got brave enough to re-open my Etsy Shop.
Moving from the East Coast to California has not been an easy adjustment for me. I tell myself that even taking baby steps is better than taking no steps. It is so much easier for me to design and create than it is for me to market. Slowly, I am learning,though, and I will succeed in understanding just what all these new words mean: web analytics, bounce rates, and filters. Some day I'll even be able to write html code!
