Absence. Hey everyone, sorry for the absence for awhile. Insane busy. First, got a new laptop that is really awesome! I was driving with my beloved to an appointment and saw debris in the slow lane. I turned around and went back for it and have a new HP laptop to show for it. The person who owned it had no identification for us to return it so we are giving it a spin. Cool! If he calls to claim it (not sure how he would do that) we will be glad to return it, but for now we are just playing. The laptop has Vista which is totally awesome. Mary also loaded a couple of Linux systems which I have had some fun playing with.

The coolest thing was loading my Foxmarks and having this laptop have all of my bookmarks loaded in about a minute. That still is my favorite app of all of the things that I use. I am starting to Twitter, so if you want more than the long diatribes that I normally post here and just want to see what I am up to at the moment, take a look at my twitter. I am going to try my best to keep up with it. I have successfully done it with SMS, so I should be good to go from now on.

Speaking of SMS (texting for the younger set), I hooked up with an unlimited SMS plan with Verizon. How cool! I can send all day long. The only problem is that I am now seeing that my battery doesn't make it through the day, so I might need to do something about that. I have a couple of batteries, so I should be okay.

Off to play with some widgets!
