What’s this? I’m trying to blog once a day for 50 days! Inspired by Forking Mad and Lou Plummer.

What is your current relationship with technology? Do you enjoy it? Does it cause you anxiety?

Unsurprisingly, given my profession and chosen industry, I am “for” technology. Increasingly over the past few years I’ve been more interested in the “business” of technology, not from the perspective of a business enthusiast, but as a participant in an industry with a lot to answer for. In response I’ve tried to be more intentional with my technology choices: I research for durable, repairable versions of things, and try to make the environmental impact of something a factor when I’m purchasing things.

One decision I made this year was to delete my Twitter account. The account dated from about 2008 or 2009, I think, but I just got sick of the whole ecosystem (which I had never liked that much anyway) and figured my life would be better without it.
