Every time I venture out into the World Wide Web, I feel ignorant.

Sweeping through some housekeeping duties for my website, I ran across some interesting information. This blog is now listed on technorati.com. I didn’t even know what technorati.com was. Of course, the Internet and I aren’t very well acquainted. I am trying to learn, but…

Technorati is a listing of anything on the Internet. Like Google, but a little more personalized because you can “claim” your site and manage it. On a side note, I now turn up on a Google search. That blows my mind. I want to be known. That was the purpose of starting a website and having a blog. But I do have to say it is a bit creepy to feel so… out there.

I will never learn to use all of the advantages of the Internet. Most of the useful things I find are strictly by accident. It amazes me how adept both of my kids are at using anything technological they get their hands on. I watched Laura flying through something the other day, and I just stared at her with my mouth wide open. I couldn’t have told you what she did, but, damn, she did it fast. Kevin does computer animation that blows me away. He posts some of his work on a site called Newgrounds. Again, not a clue as to how he does what he does, but, wow…

I suppose I’m a dinosaur in many ways, especially where technology is concerned. What is really amusing is that I am considered “well-versed” in running the gradebook program at my school. They call me the program’s Guru. That’s just sad.

Maybe one day, I’ll catch up to the evolving world of technology. Or maybe I’ll just spend the time writing another book. That would truly make me happier than feeling left behind by the latest new Internet craze.
