Handy Switch

I picked up one the greatest things ever today. I mean, it might be the best $14.99 I ever spent.
I bought one of the "Handy Switch" things you see on TV.
The way that my room is rearranged in Las Vegas now, I had to have an extension cord long enough to reach the one plug that works with the light switch by the door. ...and having the cord show is just too tacky, it was driving me crazy. Well, not anymore. Now it's a remote control light switch that I can even move where I need it - on the desk, by the door, next to the bed - FIERCE!
I am a switching maniac now.
I think I am gonna need a couple more of these. *wink*

Pocket PC's?

I found two of my first Windows PocketPC devices when I was cleaning out my closet in Las Vegas yesterday.
Man, look at those, they look huge compared to today's versions.
They both have broken screens. YUK!
I also found the receipts that went with them.
Even in 2006, the personal planning devices were as expensive as $553.00. ...and apparently, I just shelled it out. I saw that I had an additional two year warranty on one of them that I never used. ...that means that as late as April of 2008, they should have been able to fix that one. ...that is IF I would be caught dead with such a monster.

The very first version I had was a Palm Pilot 190 that I purchased at Brookstone with my first pornographic movie proceeds. Damn, looking at that device now, it's amazing. It may as well have had a green screen and a DOS prompt.

Technology is AMAZING at times.
