somaTh's Journal: I'm getting old

I know tech is always moving forward. There's always some fresh piece of software out there, ready to be deployed. It's just that the most recent cycle really caught me off guard. I blink for half a second and our entire office is using AJAX to refresh the data on pages rather than form submits. Google introduces G+. Facebook destroys its homepage. I know these aren't really new things, the ideas driving the tech have been around for a while. It's just all so new at once. And don't even get me started on games. I just got Mass Effect for the PC. Not ME2, Mass Effect. To be fair, I prefer playing games that take a long time to play. Fallout 3 & NV. Oblivion before that. SimCity 4 before that. Even in my free time, I like to feel like I'm really working for something, even if it doesn't really exist.

So, I guess I'm really saying that I'm getting older just like everyone else, and really feeling the time slip away from me. I'm 28. I can't imagine what 50 will feel like.

And, apparently, <i> isn't the same as <em>. A little bit older every day.
