Up the Willamette?
I find myself oscillating between 2 unhealthy self images when cruising Facebook. If I see people traveling on grand adventures or accomplishing amazing things, I feel like a dull person. However, when I post my grand adventures on Facebook, I feel like I'm bragging.
Mostly for those reasons, and also because it's a waste of time, I don't post to FB or browse anymore. Instead I use it to contact people since "everyone" is on there. It's the easiest way to get in touch with foreigners I meet while traveling.
You seem to be an odd combination of both embracing of new technology, yet content with the simpler things like VW beetles.
While I don't always agree with you, you're no Luddite. You can quote me on that.
...and I don't believe in infinite regress theories; not with endless Earth carrying turtles, and not with unlimited computing power.
