Handspring

Damn! Bryan blogged about his Visor and now I can’t imagine living another day without an ice blue one with a modem and digital camera eye …

Bud

Well Bud is on his side on my desk at the house. His heart (power supply) has been removed and he hasn’t whirred a click in over 24 hours. It’s probably the longest I’ve been without computing at home in five years. Last night I was in a daze. I couldn’t get on-line; no eMail; no blogging; no smarking other blogs; no working on finances; no updating of sites; no [GatorNotes] editing; no connection with the rest of the world. On my way out of the house this morning I grabbed Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York and, as much as I love the album, it certainly hasn’t improved my mood any.

“I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I’ve become dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb / I think I’m dumb …”

webCam

Woo-hoo! “I’ve got / a miniature / secret camera” … (song from Pump Up the Volume soundtrack) … although it’s not a secret and it’s not really miniature.

Now that Bud is running Win98 I was able to get a web cam!

This guy has a camera, too. (And I have to blog anyone that used to read “Choose Your Own Adventure” books!)

Online Configurator

SOMEONEHELPICAN’TSTOPTHEBLOGGIN’!!!!
Lanie, the best place to buy a new computer is http://www.mpipc.net/main.cgi?CONFIGURATOR. But I can’t promise you anything other than that when I bought my computer there over a year ago they had good prices and good service. I’m kind of upset that they don’t carry any Diamond stuff anymore though.

Headphones

If you’re wearing headphones and listening to the Foo Fighters then you won’t hear your cell phone ring at midnight but it’s okay because the cell phone ether waves will make your monitor all fuzzy …
