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!

*sigh* As the person who posted it said, it makes perfect sense if you’re a certain kind of person.

Of course, being a ‘heretic’ Jew I’m probably wrong, but somehow I suspect Jesus wouldn’t approve.

Addendum — Just realized I was not being clear enough above. I don’t think Jesus would approve of wanton warmaking, not of wishing blessings on the poor bastards who are being forced to fight it.

On Cusp

A friend in NY used that phrase the other day and it’s very apt. I’m on cusp right now. Waiting to see what Rita will do, waiting to see if we can get to Miami for a cousin’s wedding this weekend (I unwisely chose to be changing planes in DFW right about the time Rita is supposed to be making landfall & who knows how backed up the DFW airport will be with rerouted HOU flights), and waiting to see what will happen when we get back.

Scott is (fingers crossed!) starting a new job next week, we’re probably going to be moving to a new place outside the city…. in short, there’s a lot going on. On a personal level, most of it is good, but for the nation, not so much.

At any rate, blogging will probably be light the next several days.
