What's your tech type?

I just took this test at the Pew Internet studies website to see what type of tech user I was. I'm not very surprised. What do you think?

Your Results

Based on your answers to the questionnaire, you most closely resemble survey respondents within the Omnivores typology group. This does not mean that you necessarily fit every group characteristic.

Omnivores make up 8% of the American public.

Basic Description
Members of this group use their extensive suite of technology tools to do an enormous range of things online, on the go, and with their cell phones. Omnivores are highly engaged with video online and digital content. Between blogging, maintaining their Web pages, remixing digital content, or posting their creations to their websites, they are creative participants in cyberspace.

Defining Characteristics
You might see them watching video on an iPod. They might talk about their video games or their participation in virtual worlds the way their parents talked about their favorite TV episode a generation ago. Much of this chatter will take place via instant messages, texting on a cell phone, or on personal blogs. Omnivores are particularly active in dealing with video content. Most have video or digital cameras, and most have tried watching TV on a non-television device, such as a laptop or a cell phone.

Omnivores embrace all this connectivity, feeling confident in how they manage information and their many devices. This puts information technology at the center of how they express themselves, do their jobs, and connect to their friends.

Who They Are
They are young, ethnically diverse, and mostly male (70%). The median age is 28; just more than half of them are under age 30, versus one in five in the general population. Over half are white (64%) and 11% are black (compared to 12% in the general population). English-speaking Hispanics make up 18% of this group. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many (42% versus the 13% average) of Omnivores are students.

Back in the saddle again

I'm back at work now and even better, walking without crutches (mostly). I'm going pretty slow, but that's OK as I've been told I needed to slow down for some time now by a few people.

I'm still trying to get a hold of what the status is on a few things, what do I need to do and what was done for me while I was gone, but otherwise I think I'm ready to get back to work.

Let's hope so anyway.

You are invited

If any of you happen to be free this Thursday night, the Ms. Wheelchair Nebraska program is having its annual spring event in Lincoln. It is open to the public, so feel free to show up if you like. For more information, visit the Ms. Wheelchair Nebraska website. We had a lot of fun last year, so I expect it should be another good evening.

Here we go...

I return to work tomorrow after just over 2 weeks off to recuperate after my surgery. It will be interesting to see 1) how I can stand being behind a desk for four hours straight and 2) how much stuff has piled up in my absence.

I tried to not think too much about work, just to concentrate on going through rehab and to mentally recover from a rather draining 6 months of work, as well.

I'll admit, my first half of the year hasn't gone that well for me. I've felt off my game all year, so hopefully this forced vacation will recharge my mental batteries as well. I've started to get some really interesting ideas for some fiction I've been working on, so that has to be a good sign, right?
