I'm working on a column sort of like that blog, Gud. My dad didn't have electricity until he was 11. We have broadband, a Wii, cellphones and a van with a DVD player in it.
It's amazing how fast the tech is evolving.
And yet, still no TRANSPORTER.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

mac who did not have a phone in his home for his first 4 years and who I do not believe saw more than a few people with cell phones, he cannot believe a world without answering machines and multiple numbers for people.

I'd like to have a Wii, but I don't think I could talk my wife into one.

My Comcast dvr has 80 hours of space available. Total. Which sucked when I had all ten hours of the miniseries of Planet Earth in HD on it--that sucked up more than 40 percent of space.

See if you can get her to try one at a friends' house or something. I wouldn't have bought one, because every video game I've ever tried has left me either frustrated or bored or both. But just a couple minutes with the Wii and I was "gotta get me one of those!"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I remember when I bought my first Zip drive.
I bought my first cell phone just prior to going to the very first F2F (2002), because I figured being out of town -- as well as coordinating/wrangling dozens of Buffistas -- would be a good reason to have a cell phone.

Yeah, the "80 hour" DVRs are more like 20 if you're recording HD. We prune our scheduled recordings way back when we go on vacation. (Which is a GIANT PITA now that we're on the craptastic Cablevision DVR. I miss my Tivo THIIIIIIIIIIIIS MUUUUUUUUUUCH.)

I think when we are ready to get rid of the PS2, we will get a Wii, but that is at least a couple of years away, so who knows what will be out then.
I bought myself hyacinths yesterday and have them on my desk. The smell is making me so happy. I'd like to lie down and just smell that.

By then we'll have headsets that let your brain direct the controller....
