I'm sitting here in my usual coffee shop studying Biology (gag-- okay, I actually secretly love it.) and across from me are 4 high school girls studying for one of their tests and they ALL HAVE MACBOOKS. All of them. If I could do it inconspicuously, I'd take a picture with my Macbook and show y'all! Yeah, my Macbook that took until I was 24 to get. And they're about 16. Wow. And just to show me up a little more... They all have nicer & newer cars than I do!!! SERIOUSLY?!!? Who are their parents???
I just want to say that I never had crap like that when I was in High School. I'm not bitter though... ;)
Okay I swear I'll post more later. Lots going on, not lots of time!! ¡Ciao!

Kids and OnDemand
I have a six year old who knows how to navigate all aspects of our cable box with the remote. OnDemand is no strange land to him. He knows his way to the kids movies and the kids music videos. Seriously.
**edit- I also have 3 y/o twins and a 4 y/o who navigate the internet as well. Crazy. **
Am I weird that I think that is like some strange sign 'o the times or something?? I know we didn't have cable boxes when I was his age, but I also think if we did, I wouldn't have figured it out.
This is the current favorite to dance to lately:
Funny, right?
He also navigates his way around the web. (only allowed on safe sites, of course!) Techie geniuses the kids are these days.
I'd love to hear your stories of kids and tv/internet! ;)
Until next time....

Blackberry fever
Seriously. I am addicted.
Now I know why they call it a "Crackberry."
I now own a Blackberry 8700g and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I have made a habit of crackberry.com and I have started to need to check my email every 10 minutes from my phone. It's like an insta-addiction.
It's so cool! You can email, browse, check your MYSPACE, check weather/stocks/maps instantly, and so much more!! There are tons of cool apps to download, too. I may sound like a blogging ad for Blackberry, but I assure you I'm not getting paid a dime to write this. Just mucho mucho excited!! ;)
On to other geek gadget news, I finally got an ipod!! Yay!! It's the 80GB silver classic video ipod.
Love it. I feel complete now because I have had a MacBook for so long and no ipod to go with it. :) I won't be getting an iphone, though. Not too sure about the touch screen idea. Maybe in 2020 when that's all there is, but not now. haha
Well, it's a full day of birthdays, watching nephews, regular kid stuff, etc... So happy Saturday to you!!
Peace
