Hello World.

I'm not very good with technology. Not at all. I can work my laptop for the exact and necessary purposes that I need it for, I can work a digital camera because I know how to work the less savvy cameras that were used not too long ago. Printers? TVs? Fancy coffee makers? HAH!
So why have I decided to start this blog in spite of my aversion to the future of technological social interaction? Well, there are a couple of reasons. Sometimes, I have the urge to share with the world something profound that happened to me or another, even if I am the only one who will ever see it. More to the point, and probably a very selfish reason, I want to publish my work. I have a few news articles that were never published by newspapers that I would like people to be able to read because I am very proud of them. The last reason is because I am an archaeologist and would like to document my adventures in Central and South America (even if my mom is the only one to read them) So there. I've been sucked into the trendy world of blogging and, help me, tweeting.
Wish me LUCK!
