I spent this afternoon at a wedding reception. Since I didn’t know how long it would last or if people would want to do anything afterwards, I left myself the rest of the day free.

 A free Saturday.

 There was a mountain of temptation to sneak off to Six Flaggs or Cherokee Park, but instead I decided it was high time to get my office unpacked. I end up writing from my comfy living room chair most of the time. Sometimes, if I want to avoid interruption, it’s good to have a closeable door.

I’ve cleaned the living room of crap, repaired the broken drawer on my desk, and unpacked another dozen boxes I’d allowed myself to work around for the last few months. It’s good to have a functional office again. Heck, if you ignore the carpets this place feels downright presentable right now.

Maybe I should experiment with more of this “unscheduled” time.

But I never would have guessed that it would still be around after the apocalypse.

A wave of lust hit me when I read about the new solid state Eee PC’s. They’re small, they’re cheap, and they’ll fit in a handbag. Oh, the shiny. All sorts of happy potentials danced in my brain until I was bitch slapped by a shocking realization. If the iPhone 2 really does have enterprise level features, all I need is a bluetooth keyboard and it’ll have everything I want in an ultraportable computer for a fraction the price and size.

I love my phone.
