Blog: Pam's Pennypinching With STYLE

Cyberworld

Friday, May 16, 2008

Just signed up for another bargain feed from all the thrifty/budget/finance blogs I surf & read daily!  They say there are hundreds more of blogs appearing every day.  Whew.  Now, a lot of this info is repetitious. But that's always happened.

And I have to admit I am more of a budget philosopher than just a chronicler of good deals, altho I like them, too! I am working on my budget book - & things have been popping - Have an interview with pix coming out in the L.A. Times and more...

But I feel like a technical dumb bell sometimes, I have to admit. I am on the low tech end of this.  All those other blogs have feeds and contacts and bells & whistles I don't even GET.  And I have blundered with trying to link my contacts - and sent them to folks I didn't intend to - & I had to apologize all over. Ugh. :(  (isn't that the way?)

But :) I am learning and working on the book. I tell myself that if I am on the low-tech side, it's OK, because most of my ideas are recycled from a simpler way of living! I could and have done without the computer and the internet - all of it.  But I have to admit that I am fascinated with this cyber world, too.

Not that I would spend a lot of time (or $!) on a second life - a whole new dream world in cyberspace.  I read that companies are allowing employees to have wild avatars and wander around in the second world at meetings & get togethers!  I still would like to look someone in the EYE.  (Altho Susan of thriftyfun & I have almost a correspondence. Penpals of thrift!)

Nope, I have always been a radical traditionalist & have never believed that you should throw the baby out with the bath water! And I tell myself that there is always a learning curve, and we must be patient with ourselves & allow ourselves to goof up sometimes along the way. In the old days the computer folks always referred to manuals - the way I look info in the "help" section - altho I have always learned best by just plunging in & doing!

Hey, you guys who read this - a question for you - What would YOU like to see in a stylish budget book?  I welcome your comments!

Now it's back into the surf for me....
