... oh I love techno-logy...

This blog, interline 2.0!!!!1, is a blog created for my IP&T class for winter semester 2009. It will be used to post various assignments for the class, and after the end of the class, I plan to revise the blog and use it as a medium of some sort in my teaching.

My interaction began when my father bought a Macintosh 128, in around 1986. I learned how to use a mouse, and other basic functions that a computer in the mid-late 80s could perform. I remember playing various games like solitaire, stunt copter, brickles, and other basic games. Other basic games like one of the greatest game ever, Oregon Trail. I remember naming the members of the family in my wagon after members of my class. I would of course name my wife after the girl I had a huge crush on, but I would be real cleaver about it by strategically using initials to avoid anyone knowing who I was talking about. When they would die, the headstone would say something like, T.C. died from a snakebite. Technology gave me an opportunity to be very cunning.
In Elementary school we used computers more and more as time went on and they became more of a focal point in our society. We had a Window's based computer in the 90s in our home, and I went back to using a Mac a little before my mission and after. In other technologies I am somewhat capable. I can set up audio/video systems, and I have a basic understanding of how these things work. I try to keep up with the current changes, and in my family when somebody needs something set up or troubleshot I am commonly the person that is called.

I don't know everything there is to know, but my experience usually provides me with enough background to figure most programs and problems out.
