Mommy is out with the ladies tonight so Hannah and I were "partying". We just got done with another session of Zelda for the Wii and she is quite excited about "the guy with green hair". Kids sure do keep you young.

Gadgets
Most people like new electronics. I don't know anyone that wasn't at least a little intrigued by the iPhone. I however think I have some sort of addiction to the latest and greatest.
Ask anyone that knows me. I have probably gone through more cell phones in the past few years than most will go through in their entire lives. It all started when I worked at RadioShack in college. It was like some sort of high. I was always wanting the new model and somehow I would always find a way to get it.
Now that I am in the professional world, you would have thought this obsession would die out or at least dwindle. In fact, I think it has gotten worse. I now have actual uses for these devices and whenever some new feature is added I think to myself "I could use that."
I thought this was weird for a while (along with my wife and several friends), then I discovered there are is a whole population that not only share this obsession but are worse. Just look at some of these websites...
www.the-gadgeteer.com
www.treocentral.com
www.phonescoop.com
www.howardforums.com
www.phonenews.com
www.engadget.com
and the list goes on.
So what is my point. Just when you think you are unique in your weirdness, the Internet introduces you to a mass group just like you.

Let the Ramblings Begin
Not really sure what to say but I am having one of those nights.
It is now 12:44am and instead of sleeping I am typing this post. Why? Because I am up waiting on our technical support to fix an issue with my mobile device. In our company's infinite wisdom they outsourced our IT support to another multi-national company and our support is based all over the place. I call Sweden and get transferred to Ireland...but wait they are only level one support so they pass me on to the Czech Republic. I believe I am fully fluent in broken English.
Oh well...
My wife is patiently waiting for me to come to bed so I will end this ramble for now.
