I've Been Dragged Kicking and Screaming into the 21st Century
Hi all!
As the year draws to a close, I'd like to express my thanks for things that up until this year were not in my house...really, I swear they weren't.
- Caller ID: I've had Caller ID-enabled phones for years, but finally subscribed to Caller ID service this year. When I think of all the telemarketing and charitable solicitation calls I answered before getting Caller ID, I want to get in a time machine and smack my past self upside the head for not springing for this sooner. Admittedly, most of the telemarketers have been filtered out thanks to the Do Not Call list, but still...
- Nintendo Wii: Yes, after all my squawking about how video games would rot my child's brain, I'm the one who insisted that wii should have a Wii in the house. Even my parents love it.
- Digital Cable: Now I have Versus (and about 200 other channels). I can watch other hockey besides the Boston Bruins (no offense to the Bruins, of course). Yay!
- HDTV: It's not a flat panel, but it's still awesome - especially with the digital cable's high-def channels. Now I can watch Cesar Milan (the Dog Whisperer) in HD. I'm definitely a calm and dominant pack leader now ;)
Technology is my friend!
Cheers,
- Laurie :)
