You know, I purchased my Mac because, yes, I did like iCal - however, compared to my "made in England" vintage winchester with all my notes, and scribbles and ponderings - ical is like a kiss from my cousin - it's nice, and all that - but it just doesn't feel right. you know.
I don't despise technology - nor am I a luddite. It's just, well, if I can be a minister here - I need stuff to be "incarnate". Stuff isn't bad - it's what we're made of, it's what God created... stuff, leather, paper, poodles, the iron of the eiffel tower. And my filofax (es - plural) keep me in touch with stuff. Not that I have more stuff than you or anything like that. Just, well, it's nice and it fits and it smells good and my ideas are in it - it's a symbol of my stuff.
Taking over the world one step at a time ;)
ReplyDeleteA lovely mention.
