One must begin somewhere, so here goes...
I'm Alex McLean, originally from Vancouver, BC, but have experienced my share of international residences along the way.
I'm in the Communications program at Capilano, somewhere between my 1st and 2nd year. I'm in CMNS 253 as part of the program. I entered the prgram as I'm interested in getting into the media industry, specifically broadcasting. I'm looking forward to this class as I haven't really gotten into things like blogging and YouTube, so I'm hoping to learn and gain some exposure.
I will primarily be examining the Blackberry and other handlheld PDAs in my blog. I started using my Blackberry about 9 months ago, but haven't got past the basic phone, calendar and email functions. I would like to examine how other users put their Blackberries to work, how these uses have affected society and how well I might be able to adapt some new uses to the device.
So far, the class looks pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing how my first try at blogging goes.

Hey Alex:
It is kind of a truism that people with cell phones tend to be annoying in their use of them, but that people with blackberries have serious problems putting them away.
What is it, then, that separates the blackberry user from those of us who remain satisfied with a simple phone? What can/does the blackberry express about us as people that the cell phone simply can't?
