When Worlds Collide
Ever since the Internet started, there have been resisters -- lead pencil fanatics, handmade book militants, writers wildly clinging to their IBM Selectrics, all manner of frightened or angry people holding on to what they know and love. I'm happy to see growing evidence of these worlds coming together. I first saw it in the hipster PDA, a Luddite's answer to the Palm consisting of handwritten index cards held together with a binder clip. This wildly popular invention is an outgrowth of the success of David Allen's book "Getting Things Done", a time management bible that relies heavily on paper folders and files.
Today I found a hilarious example -- aaah! the ongoing entertainment value of people triumphing over machines.

Dead trees digitally delivered - gotta love it.
Lynda, could you please tell me - on which night is CBC repeating Dr. Who? I missed quite a few episodes over here, and the BBC aren't repeating it yet. I might need to ask my sister to tape it for me.
By the way, I will be posting your cheque tomorrow...

Yes Dr. Who has been taking me back too. The kids and Scott too was a big fan.
I'm glad you had that time with your family and to hear about your Dad. xo Love always, Tracy
p.s. thanks for all your help with cleaning up Mum's computer. I will soon be a MAC owner and look forward to conversing with you about design.

I keep looking here for new entries but nothing yet. Everything OK? Hope you're not suffering too much in the heat...
