Am I destined to always be one step behind?

In my morning blog reading, I read a post by Tavi (@StyleRookie), a fabulous teen blogger who I wished I was half as funny as! Tavi was talking about her joy to be "one of them" with her iTouch and then low and behold the new latest thing is out! I can relate to this. I constantly feel like I am one step (or in some cases one mile) behind the latest and greatest. Every time I get a phone, iPod, computer, flash drive, or car then next best thing is announced in a manner of 2 weeks.
For example: My first cell phone was this hurky nextel all black thing that was about 2 inches thick and no color screen. I was soo happy to have a cell phone but then I looked around. It was like I had a Zack Morris cell phone. Everyone had their Razrs and could slide them in their pockets. I wanted to slide my phone in my pocket, but the stupid rubber grip would get caught and then the phone fell to the floor and bounced bringing even more attention to my huge cell phone! Then I noticed that they could take pictures and send them to friends... What? When did phones do that? After some time I got a new phone the Razr but then it wasn't cool anymore. Then my mom gave me her Blackberry Pearl. Finally I was cool! Then it stopped working and I had to go back to the Razr! NOOOO!!!!! It was the sadest day ever. Within a matter of days I was at the store buying a new Blackberry and I realized why I never have the latest and greatest. It cost too much and the first gen products tend to have so many issues.
I am still using my first gen Blackberry Pearl Flip but it is having problems now too. I am sure I will be getting a new phone soon and I am still undecided about what to get. I am sure that it will be fun and most likely not the coolest thing ever!

It's about time

So I created this blog a long time ago. I thought that I would be able and motivated to blog my grad school and developmental experiences. It wasn't until I became the IT coordinator for the Higher Education Leadership Organization (HELO), this is a student organization for the students in the Master's in Higher Education program as CSU Fullerton, that I saw the need for me to blog.
In the last year I have, out of necessity learned to use lots of web 2.0-3.0 technology. I started being a power Google user (multiple Gmail accounts, Google Reader, Google Docs, Google Sites, Google Scholar, Google Books, iGoogle, Google Talk, Google Mobile, Blogger, Google Calendar, to name a few). I have 3 blogger blogs, personal (GlueGirl), school (This one), and an Eportfolio (For school). I have 3 Tumblr accounts (Jaimeiscrafty, HEInspire, and JMedesigns). I tweet @jaimeiscrafty & @helo_csuf. I manage the HELO website. I love Flickr. This is just a little bit of my love of tech. I had to turn the web off on my BB pearl flip because I was WAY too distracted by it.
SOOO All of that rambling and linking over with, I just saw a tweet about the lack of women in student affairs who blog or tweet about technology. Kristen is getting together with others to create a group of Women in SA on Tech. I say great idea! Let's get talking or typing!
