by way of introduction

So this would be the requisite introductory post where I inform you of what you already must have realised; that this is my first post. I've meant to start an online journal for some time, but somehow life seems to get in the way. I plan to give it a good go this time and see how long my attention span holds. Mostly it'd be a nice place to store and share all the photos I've been taking recently with my fancy-pants new digital camera.
I seem to catch on to new technology rather late in the game, for someone who works in an area like computer games. I think I might actually be a bit of a technophobe. I get a first wave of excitement over some new gadget or program, but try and convince me to pick up the extra-feature, new-and-improved, high-detail, up-to-the-minute version and I quickly pale and back away. It took me almost two years working in games before I bought my first ever games console (having been deprived of computer-aided fun as a barefoot and outdoorsy flower-child). And I have to admit my reluctance to upgrade my computer has stopped me buying the latest PC titles. Simply put, I prefer to wade in the pool of knowledge that is the technology generation, rather than submerge myself beneath those dark and icy waters.
That would be me on the right there, next to my buddy Lester.
