I was sitting in the sun at the dining table yesterday and decided that if this was a typical winter's day, I could cope. Of course, since then we've had thunderous rain ... for a moment ... It's now wet underfoot but I'm sure the sun will come out from behind that cloud in the next half hour... [ever the optimist].

One thing that can be counted on, especially around New Zealand, is ... that weather is always changing.

And in this day and age, technology always changes. I still get change from 50 but I'm pleased with how I sort-of keep track of where technology is going. I don't operate a mobile or a WAP Wii ithis or ithat, but I can find my way around a computer, the vast world wide web, and even try to find out more about the cutting edge. Of course, that is not without pain.

I spent half an hour reading up on Web 2.0 the other day. My head started to hurt. I got the idea about social bookmarking [I stumble http://banquet.stumbleupon.com/] and how the web is being written more by the masses (in wikis, and other silly names for some clever ideas, gadgets, and widgets] rather than by the few geeks with 'The Knowledge' as in a decade ago.

Sites are more interactive, links in and out of your site are more important. Google is spreading its wings into Mr Gates turf. I can get degrees and all sorts of certificates from online courses (using moodles).

I can read html and even correct it sometimes, but CSS is still beyond me.

I'm glad I don't need to know everything. I just need to know who to ask.

I guess that's like life too - just need to know Who to ask.

May God Bless you,
Johanna
