My students think I’m rich and my family and friends think I’m nuts because my continuous acquisition of tech toys.. er, tools (he writes while tracking the progress of his Drobo “Data Robot”). But from the beginning it’s not been about shiny new things as much as using the tools available to me and living this life. I’m an artist, a writer, a problem-solver and technology has been my canvas, my curse and my calling. Given my continuing difficulties with my stable of machines, one might think that I’d be tempted to really throw it all away and go back to pad and pencil. I’ve known system analysts who wouldn’t allow any technology into their homes. But I’m looking for a more unified holistic lifestyle that celebrates my technological artistry but doesn’t confuse all of this for anything more than it is. jbb
