Generation Gap

Occasionally, I forget that most people thirty years older than I aren’t quite as tech-savvy. While anything to do with technology is almost second-nature to me, it takes a while for some people to really “get it.” I remembered that today when I overheard this conversation in the cubicle next to me.

1st guy: “What is an ipod?”
2nd guy: “It’s a music player.”
1st guy: “What do you do with it?”
2nd guy: “You could download deer calls to use when you go huntin’.”

Honestly, I was already baffled/amused by the first sentence, but the rest is just icing on the cake. I mean, maybe that last sentence only happens in Tennessee. That conversation really made my day, though–and by “made my day,” I mean it nearly made me burst into a fit of giggles.

P.S. What makes it even funnier is the fact that these guys are engineers. I love my job.

Photobooth

Oh, hi. The last two posts (some of my photography & a recipe for chocolate chip dip) were scheduled in advance, so I feel like I haven’t been here in a while. If I were at home, I wouldn’t be here right now because I received my macbook on Friday. I’m kind of in love, I won’t lie, and I’ve been spending almost every free moment playing with it. (I’m at work right now, so the macbook is far, far away from my fingertips. Oh, that beautiful keyboard…)

I’ve loved everything about it so far. I did have a little problem with the Internet randomly shutting off while I was on it, but I installed Mozilla Firefox, and ever since then, it has been fine. (Could it have been Safari?)

My favorite thing about my new computer, though? Photobooth. It’s fun!
