Every now and then, I review a tech product or voice my opinion on tech-related things. I've never really had a place to put this stuff other than my personal blog, and it's never sat all that comfortably there. Now, there's a place. It's called Precious Fragmentation.1
Why that title? It's my favourite episode of The Big Bang Theory, the one where they find the ring from LOTR, and they all go a little nuts trying to keep it. I think evangelism forces a lot of us to be a little too defensive about technology at times, and I'd like to deal with that. ↩

ain't that the truth

There's nothing wrong with being happy. There's nothing wrong with enjoying something so much that it strips away all that irony and cynicism. And there's nothing wrong with loving anything so much that it feels like it could pull your heart out of your chest and toss it on the floor. We build ourselves up to not do that, and then we build up the armor so thickly that we have trouble finding what's underneath. We use that as an excuse to lash out at people who do feel stuff, who do like things (and I am, of course, mostly saying this about myself). It's hard sometimes to remember that the world isn't a place to glide through, so nothing can touch you. It's a place to be experienced.
