Friday Cat Blogging: Welcome Bear!

There’s a new member of our household!


When the time came to send Marcus back to the SPCA, we couldn’t bring ourselves to let him go. So this week we went through the adoption process, got him neutered, and now he’s ALL OURS.

He’s still quite scared of strangers, although hopefully that will change over time, but he follows us around, jumps on any available lap, purrs and plays happily, and is generally a sweet, loving cat. His permanant name is Bear, and we couldn’t be happier that he’ll be spending the rest of his life with us.

As you might expect, since he’s been here a month already, Tommy and Gimi aren’t complaining at all.

Revisiting the Handheld Issue

So while snaking through the security line on the way home from Miami, my knapsack/laptop case got dropped on the floor somewhat hard. Once I’d booted my laptop and discovered that the laptop was OK I promptly forgot all about the incident. I also forgot that my Tungsten C was in the bag and was not as padded as the laptop.

I powered the T|C up today and discovered this:

busted screen

Fortunately the T|C can still sync, so if I choose to pay $125 and go without my TC for about 2 weeks I can once again have a functioning T|C. Right now I’m not convinced it’s worth it.

However, I’m a bit annoyed by the news that, as rumored, Palm is indeed going to be making a Windows Mobile version of the Treo, and that’s affecting my judgment.

Home Again

We’re home. Miami was hot as hell but it was great to see the family. I have a huge pile of catching up to do, yet we were only gone for three days!
