I got my CNET mug from the CBS store.
Then he escaped
and went on a trip around the world.
Until he got arrested for mugging.
Now he’s home.
Until next time.

I made up my mind and ordered a new laptop. It’s a Sony Vaio FW Series. Yes I know a lot of people hate Sony for various reasons, but I have a Vaio laptop now. It’s from 2003 and is still the most gorgeous laptop I’ve ever seen, with the most spectacular screen. The new one looks even better. Since everyone’s interested in specs and the site is too flashy/fussy to link to: Model Number: US-VGNFW590-LBOM Customization Details:
It’s supposed to ship November 30 and take 5-7 days to arrive. The Nebula color is nice, but it’s backordered and I thought I’d get tired of looking at it. I got the highest specs I could afford. My favorite feature in the Configure-to-Order may be the “FreshStart” choice: no crapware! Not even Norton, which I planned to spend the first couple of hours removing. Can’t wait! Just saw this: Netbook vs. iPhone: A better comparison At last someone noticed! All the teens I know positively swoon when they see my HP Mini. Why? Because they live on their various smartphones. To them a netbook has a big screen and keyboard, a fast processor and is very comfortable. Yesterday I went through the netbook or smartphone debate again when I held the Motorola Droid in my hands and fell in love. The Droid would be smaller to carry around. I would have almost universal service. The Droid is faster and easier to use than my netbook. Droiiiiiiiid!!! If I could afford the monthly bill I would get the Droid. (Health insurance went up, income is down). Annoying because if I traded in my current phone the Droid phone itself would only cost $99. Maybe in 2010. Reading the netbook vs smartphone article again to remind myself that there are pluses to having a netbook… Yesterday morning I witnessed IRC history. I was logged into #CNETFans on WyldRyde as usual, when a Global announcement popped on: the network had been sold. A few seconds later, a second Global: there was a new owner. An instant after that, a Global appeared that we were now on the GeekShed IRC network. The network name in X-Chat had changed! There we were, all of us, the channel, channel modes, access list and registered nicks all perfectly intact. Yes there is still a WyldRyde IRC network with a couple of servers and Administrators. But we (#CNETfans) are all on GeekShed. So are all but two of the former WyldRyde staff. This transition was extraordinary. Yes I call it a transition, because that was how it appeared to those of us who were present. Congratulations Phil, Allan, Pierce, Mist, Atri, Corey, Kat, Admiral_Justin, therock247uk, PurPle_Teddy, Ryan, SubWolf and crrj – that was Awesome. Bravo! Thank you for all your hard work. #CNETFans is now proud to be on irc.geekshed.net For more info, see: Follow GeekShed on Twitter I am starting not to like WordPress.

Flashback I had moved back in with my parents. They lived in a nowhere suburb. Nothing but single family homes with parents and kids. No single guys or any singles at all. No way to get anywhere except to drive and driving terrified me. Plus I wasn’t someone who would go to a singles group online or off.
