The internet is finally here
So after three weeks of me silently and sometimes loudly venting about not having internet in my apartment, I’m finally connected. The relief is palpable to the extent that I feel like a vice has been unclenched around my chest. This may all seem hyperbolic, but think about it; I’m a person who lives and breathes and even makes a living off online media. Not having internet is like a TV critic not having a TV. This feeling was exacerbated by the fact that I just moved to a new city and I have been largely unable to use the vast resources of the web to aid in the transition. No access to google maps or bus schedules or city guides. So yes, it feels good to be here, sitting in my room, writing a blog post.
Does this mean that posting here will pick up pace? I don’t really know. The truth is, my lack of internet in my apartment is only part of the reason that my blogging hasn’t been particularly prolific. Another reason is the fact that I’m writing an article a week for PBS, which takes up a lot of time. But to be honest, I really haven’t seen many things that have been all that interesting to write about lately. This is probably because I’ve fallen behind on my RSS feeds.
Either way, I’m posting on Twitter pretty often, so if you’re looking to get a Simon Owens fix, follow me over there. I’m excited about the weeks ahead, I’m really enjoying my job, and I’m sure I’ll have something insightful to say here about online media at some point. We’ll see.
