My Technology Post

Today I have muddled my way through some exercises. I am interested and up to the challenge and agree that is our obligation as information professionals to stay on top of new technology. However, I find it very difficult to try and figure this out without a human by my side to help. The Go To Girl has been extremely patient and wonderful in helping me and other staff members, I would not have been able to get this far without help. My rant is how many different accounts I must create (Flickr, Yahoo, etc) to do anything and how many passwords I must remember, how can one keep them all straight? I am troubled by the personal information I was asked to provide (name, birthdate, etc) and wonder how many people acutally give their accurate information. While I don't believe the techno-boogeyman is out to get me, I don't believe in volunteering information.
