I'm as tech savvy as the average person, but the reason why I don't have a blog is that I've been lazy in keeping a paper journal, so a blog would be the same way, rarely updated.

I am way more tech-savvy than average - if there is a step-by-step method and rulebook, then I can do it. If there was a rulebook for writing poetry, then I could even do that too.

It doesn't mean that I don't totally suck with some tech stuff - for instance gadgets with really poor manuals, or anything Web 2.0 that I can not see the point of. And I am much worse than most people when the manual is wrong, because I still try to follow the rules.
