gadgetry and shelves and stuff

dchenesGadget envy has triumphed over Luddite tendencies. I replaced my old cell phone with a Katana, which takes pictures and plays Tetris and sends text messages (except I still hate text messages) and does practically everything else except the laundry.
Speaking of gadget envy, I want to set up my apartment after I move so that the cable modem stays in the living room and the computer stays in the office. I think I need an AirPort. When I went buying tools the other night, I did stick my head in the Apple store, but I forgot about the networking idea. I was too busy drooling at MacBooks. Maybe in a couple of years or so...if it had been less busy in there, I would have uttered a dirty word and asked if any of the demo machines were set up to run Windows. I want to see how that works before I go off and start hoarding change to buy a MacBook with.
I came in this morning and found that the Shelf Fairies had finally visited my office early this morning, so now I have shelves on the wall and I can stop keeping everything on my desk or on the floor. I would almost rather the Shelf Fairies had visited my boss first, so she could take her 8 boxes of stuff out of my office. I don't need the collating space yet, but I will, and the boxes are sitting on it.
I don't recall asking for rain this morning, but it makes the green and growing things happy, so I'll cope.
