Techno-lust
I’ll be the first to admit that I spend money on things I don’t “need”. Do I need 2 flat panels sitting on my desk? No, not really. Did I need a Kindle? Nope. Did I need an iPhone, when any ol’ phone would have worked fine? Nah, didn’t need it. I just wanted those things, and sometimes you just need to treat yourself to something. I just happen to like technology, and that isn’t something that will ever change. Even being broke won’t stop me from wanting geeky gadgets, it will just stop me from buying them!
So anyway, I got excited a few months ago with the impending announcement of the “Apple iPad”. I thought I’d really like it. I was actually well prepared to start listing the reasons in my own mind why I HAD to have it. Surprisingly though now that all the details are out, I don’t really want it anymore. It just wasn’t exactly what my mind envisioned it to be. So, that saves me some money, right? Well, perhaps not. I’ve found something else to lust after, and I have to admit that it has peeked my interest much more than the iPad ever did.
Take a look at the Microsoft Courier.
Just watching that video made my brain explode with ideas of how many ways I could use this thing. I think this is pretty much a device that everyone could be carrying around, it seems to have that much potential. Not to mention it just looks… awesome. I mean seriously, wrap this thing in a nice leather journal style case and I’ll buy it right now. Man, I need to start earning some money again!

LOL…your gonna cost me a bundle when it comes to holiday gift giving times. You and your techno toys you love so much. Good thing I’m working towards getting that high paying job!
But on a serious note. That Microsoft Courier does look really slick and something I wouldn’t having myself one day.
