Technology Buying Binge

So I've been on a gadget buying binge lately.

Bought myself a netbook. Pretty pleased so far. It'll be really good for hauling to the Capitol for the late nights. Weighs only 2 lbs and I won't have to injure my thumbs typing out emails on my Palm.

New digital camera. Got the EOS Rebel at Coscto. This is an absolute steal right now as the camera comes with 2 high def lenses are usually $300-500 on their own. Costco is weird in that their online division competes with their stores so go to the physical store location. Not sure who I'm writing this to since nobody actually reads this. My wife is actually a pretty talented photographer so she has been wanting this for a while.

Got a 50 inch plasma. One of the Black Friday deals at Best Buy. Per usual, the install is turning into a debacle. We can't hang it on our wall so I'm going to have to run a pole out of the ceiling. That's going to be expensive, but it will look pretty cool when it's done.

Bout time to upgrade the old phone. I've got a Palm Treo which was cutting edge a short time ago and is now the equivalent of walkign around with a rotary phone. Thinking IPhone, but really I just want a decent phone, email, and web browser. I can live without most of the other nonsense.

OU sucks.
