Day 358
For
the past year, Sean has diligently written a blog entry every day.
Many weekends I would tell him to just relax and post something the
next day, that no one would notice. Without fail though, he made sure
an entry was always written and posted.
Today,
Sean has turned the reins over to me for a guest blog entry. I’m very
excited that he’s almost done with this project, and honored that he’s
asked me to contribute an entry, so let’s see how I do...
As
we both approach 40, I’m always amazed at the pace of technology. Just
the concept of a cell phone or a digital camera 20 years ago was
abstract and expensive, but today it’s taken for granted. This makes me
curious about the technological singularity that is theorized for the
mid-century. We’ll just have to wait and see where our self-driving
cars take us, I suppose.
On
a random note, yesterday was Earth Day, which always makes me think
about the awful environmental conditions future generations will
inherit. It seems we are developing every conceivable inch of the
planet just to satisfy consumer demand for food or products, but I do
hope we can reverse this trend at some point.
Today
at work is “bring your kids to work day”, one of my favorite days at
the office! Everyone lets their hair down for the day, and we all get
free ice cream in the afternoon!
Anyway,
I guess I’ll end there. I’d like to say congratulations to Sean for
all the hard work he’s done writing this blog, day after day. I’m
looking forward to seeing it in book form where I can flip through each
day, and catch up on all the entries I’ve missed.
