Tech: The good and the bad

I love gadgets! I used to think I just liked bright and shiny objects. But I'm immune to diamonds, so that wasn't it. Then I heard the term, "early adopter."

I write about technology for my day job as a travel reporter, covering travel technology (see my "Distribution Minutia blog under Business Perspectives, if you're a travel tech junkie!)

• Screen-free
• Screen-free vacations
• Unplug
• Vacations offline
