Nothing about writing this time.

 I'm a fan of technology.

    I've been building my own computers since about 1983. I actually didn't finish the first one. I disassembled two BBC's and put them back together again as one even more powerful version. Naturally, it blew up and nearly torched the house. Since then I've got better at it. No more fires and about fifteen new machines, later, the octa core machine I'm using now was built by my fair if slightly wrinkled, hand.

    I have a cell phone that can do things people of just twenty years ago would have believed to be impossible, but now I just accept without any thought.

    Yet with all that vast array of incredible technology available to us, I still think one thing I own is the best thing ever invented.

    

    Yes, it's a can opener. I was issued this in the Royal Marines well over forty years ago. It never complains. The batteries never die, and it keeps opening cans. It must have opened about twenty thousand by now and just keeps on doing it.

    It's name is Ralph, and he's my bestest friend.
