Unspun

If, like me, you struggle with trying to make sense of technology and often wrestle with gadgets to make them work then relax, for help is at hand.

Jeremy Wagstaff, a Hugh Grant lookalike who writes the Wall Street Journal’s Loose Wire column and blogs, is launching a book to help laymen Luddites and Gaptek-ists cope with the technology that sometimes seems to be taking over our lives.

The book: Loose Wire: a personal guide to making technology work for you is being published by Equinox and will be launched on October 1 at the Tutmak Cafe Ubud, during the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival.

I haven’t read the book but I’ve read Jeremy’s columns and blog, and I can say that they’ve always been entertaining and informative. Jeremy can also be very funny in his writing but he never fails to instruct and illuminate.

So do yourself a favor, go to Ubud on October 1, get literate and get his book.Or buy it when it goes on sale elsewhere. Or remain Gaptek and see your life taken over by technology.
