Are Seven

I’ve been meaning to try and go back to writing about Tech, but just about every time I think of something, it seems as though it’ll take ages of considered writing to do anything, and then I don’t write. The answer to this, of course, is a weekly feature, so here it is: the launch. It’ll go on Tuesday, just because of the alliteration and all, and it’s boringly titled specificially so you know what you’re getting into.

A lot of what I’ll be writing about may be a little more tech-y than you want, but I would like to try and offer things that could be tips to those of you who don’t want to read Techcrunch or Lifehacker all the time but still want ways to improve your computery lives a little more. I’ll try to keep it clear when I’m geeking out and when I’m offering up tips, but if you have any suggestions or find any part of it especially useful, let me know.

I’ll kick things off with a little bit of a whimper, and that’s my slight change in email.  I think I’m about done with Thunderbird as an email client and am switching to the web gmail as my main mail.  Thunderbird is still a necessity for me, since it’s the easiest way to check multiple email accounts, and the only way to pull my old hotmail accounts into my gmail.  But it’s a real pain and it’s just not necessary anymore.

Of course, it’s still taking some getting used to.  I accidentally did a “reply all” to a barbecue invitation today.  You could have barbecued a few steaks on my cheeks due to my blushing when I realized my mistake.  I hate being “that guy”.

In other news, I geekily enjoyed downloading Firefox 3 today.  There’s still a few extensions that don’t work (del.icio.us? Seriously?), but it looks a lot better on my Mac.  It was definitely worth the 45 minutes I had to wait for it to download.

I would promise that Tech Tuesday will get a little better from here on out, but we all know that I can’t promise that.
