About This Page: (This is Main Street by Angie, who is working on art goals here on the blog!)
This has been a personal project to blog every day for a school year on goals and dreams. My hope was that I could find a group of people to work with me.
I was lucky enough to find a small, but sincere group of inspirational people to keep me company. We've been using Walt Disney's philosophies or creations as inspiration.
I am no longer blogging daily, but I am notified if comments are posted, and I'll be happy to keep the discussion going!

Technology Time Travel and the Virtual Time Zone.
A part of my goal with the blog (and also with being a moderator of the Special_Needs forum)
os to create some sort of community. I feel that has happened nicely.
Yesterday I had a nice "chat" when I visited my long-neglected Facebook page and Jamie tapped me on the shoulder for a chat. The whole exchange seemed a little bit like worlds colliding, though. It was odd to chat with my PassPorter Blog friend on my Facebook page. What if that creates some kind of paradox that will somehow create a tear in the natural order of online organization? OK, I know that will not happen, BUT there is a real interesting time travel feeling with the internet.
Mainly, you can have a conversation with someone who is not even awake. I found myself up and fully awake at 4:30 this morning. I tried to talk with the cat, but he really didn't have much to say.
I remember years ago, if I woke up in the middle of the night, my life became like night of the waking dead. In my early twenties I was pretty much broke all the time, so there was no money for cable TV. The choices we have in the dead of night are so much better than the black and white Honeymooner reruns and the one Late Show Movie that would be available. And as far as reaching out for conversation goes, you were stuck unless you wanted to wake someone up!
With the internet, though, you can communicate with technology time travel if you can just delay the gratification of being instantly heard by a particular person.
I love popping in on the various conversations on these message board threads whenever I choose. Some of the conversations go on for tens of thousands of hits, but everyone signs on in their own time.
So, you can converse with people in virtual time zone, which means you never have to worry about waking someone up and you can instantly say what you have to say.
Now, the virtual time zone is NOT a great idea for messages like "Help" or "FIRE!" or "I've fallen and I can't get up!" But, if you want to reach out in the moment, but don't mind when someone else feels the touch, technology time travel with the Virtual Time Zone is just the ticket!

It does have its good and bad points.... like from the post yesterday, if your computer crashes or when messages are delayed for an extended amount of time.... but it can also be good when things are going just right and you can get that instant gratification as well....0 Pixie Dust

Man I'm glad I wasn't up for that conversation
So I guess I am grateful it was here for me to enjoy this evening. One of my favorite technical gadgets, that everyone else seems to loathe is the answering machine. I am a secretary for my local church and I am always leaving myself messages when I know no one is at the church to answer. My pastor loves it because when I call to give myself a name for the prayer list or some other small reminder I always thank myself and tell me (answering machine) to have a great day! I tell him it's kind of like a tree falling in the woods...... Oh well I digress. Have a great day, what ever time you read this!0 Pixie Dust

EWWWWWWWWWWWW EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Creepy Creepy! That movie freaked me out. Maybe my computer was made of plastic that was not recycled properly and the Spirits of nature are angry!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, if the computer poltergeist decides to mess up with time-space continuity we are all in trouble.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 Pixie Dust
