The Dirtbag Diaries

Mon, 9 November 2009

Climber and Diaries contributor Kelly Cordes is what you would call an early adopter. Kelly may live in a shack at 8,000 feet, but the guy is no cretin. He’s had an email account for four years now. He knows how to program a VCR. He’s even considered buying one of those new-fangled Blueberry phones. What can I say? Kelly is a mover and a shaker. The guy’s approach to new technology is as cutting edge as his alpine endeavors, but even seasoned pros have the occasional misstep. Two and a half years, Kelly signed up for a Facebook account, promptly forgot the password and found out that negotiating social media can be every bit as difficult as picking a path through gaping crevasses, rotten ice and snow-covered rock. It’s certainly just as time consuming.

I really enjoyed this short, I can relate to the moral dilemma between the new wave of social networking. It is hard enough to keep up with what the new \"cool\" way of networking is. Keep up the wonderful work!

The great thing about Facebook, is that you find all these old friends of yours you haven\'t talked to in years, and the bad thing about Facebook is that you find all these old friends of yours you haven\'t talked to in years.

Great story, I laughed alot during it, and I needed that the other day!
