  • The Aforementioned 20 year-old Organizer

    Behold the Sharp IQ-7200.

    It’s from… 1989!  Its memory was 64KB, and that was a big deal.

    That white area bottom left is where a plastic placeholder has to be inserted in order for it to work.  

    I am now thinking to put some batteries in and see what kind of dossiers little-me had going on back then.

  • Everything Crashed

    My Blackberry won’t accept calls and is constantly frozen, my laptop is now installing stuff on its own and last night… erased my calender.  I’ve had a digital organizer for 20+ years.

    And something is disproportionately wrong with my blog numbers yesterday, who knows what that’ll turn into.  Off to fix all this, I’m too numb to freak out.  

  • Happy Big Birthday, Tony!

    After we hung up yesterday I had little tears because I wish so much I could’ve made it down for your big party, have a great time tonight and I owe you a giant hug. XO

    This is Tony, Hector and me here in Toronto when they came up from South Beach to visit me two summers ago.

    Here’s the time we met up in Niagara Falls, and here’s when I made the trip down south.  They’re my BFFs from forever, and I miss you guys.

  • Getting Sand

    I sent that to my newspaper pals at Vancouver 24 Hours as a “thanks for having me” gift, and included was a labelled ziploc of sand for Dean because I’d overheard he collects it (I don’t get it either).

    That’s a Canada Goose Camp Down jacket.  

    I’m at Cherry Beach.

  • My New Toy

    A Nintendo DSi.  Been wanting one for a long time, look how old mine is, circa 1998.

    The thing is flooring me… two cameras, I can send text and photos around, play online versus other people, and I have a suspicion this is one of the most hacked things out there.   

    The games I chose:

    Top to bottom:

    – Mario and Luigi – Bowser’s Inside Story – came free with my DS

    New Super Mario Bros. – I’m most excited for this one

    Professor Layton and the Curious Village – I love puzzles

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2Obviously

    And this DS is the reason this story ended the way it did.
