This week’s word is (as usual) rather apt.
I’m struggling with a technology conundrum. On the one hand I’m a confirmed Luddite, I’d rather hand sew, handwrite and beat eggs and whip cream under my own steam.
On the other, I’ve got a shiny new smartphone that I love to bits (and in fact I’m trying out the WordPress app to write this post). I’m pretty positive I wouldn’t be trying to sell my artwork without the examples of the lovely people of the blogosphere.
…and yet, I still find myself losing hours of precious creating time clicking from one link to another.
(This photo was taken with the aforementioned new phone, borrowing Batman’s as a prop while we sat waiting to view the 27th house as we desperately look for somewhere to move to by the end of September…stressful? Naaah.)

yikes, good luck with finding a new place…
whatphonedidyouget whatphonedidyouget? i have no conundrum at all and unashamedly love technology, using as much of it as possible all the time. (I may even have inspected the exif metadata in the image above to try and find an immediate answer to my question, but i guess wordpress strips it out so it didn’t work.)

I got an HTC ChaCha and I love it! Mainly because it has real buttons to answer the phone with, my last phone was great for everything but making and receiving phone calls.

A conundrum definately being pulled by the old and the new Katy. Good luck with the move.
