Distracted by Shiny Objects

Date February 21, 2009

Maven apologizes for the lapse. It seems that my weakness for shiny objects is at work as I am waiting the arrival of my Blue Object of Desire© along with many others. Maven’s huge, honking 17″ Dell went down in a scary endless loop of blue screen of death with a suspected video card/screen burnout. It was sad. Like they say crisis often offers opportunity. It really tragi-comic carrying that 17″ out to cafe’s and events to blog. The battery life was brutally short, so I had to keep the thing plugged in all the time which kinda defeated the purpose of being portable. I am convince that this Blue Object of Desire will make me more productive, hip, and ultimately happy. Things do that for me.

Also, all the kids are doing it and having a price tag in the mid-300’s appeals to the future hobo in me…spend less dough and travel light. I will be able to blog whilst huddling up to the warmth in the neighborhood  trash-can fire.
