Sometimes, my work-a-holicism pays off.

Ok... so I know you all think I work way too much, and that I have a martyr complex. Well, the truth is, I am a work-a-holic, and I am OCD, and I do sometimes kill myself trying to please other people. But let me just say this, every once and a while it totally pays off. Like with this massive Emory project. It came in at more hours than I thought it would, but still (I think) cheaper than it has in the past, even though there were more pages.

But the point is, they are happy, and soon I will be getting paid, and more than I thought I was. So, I have decided that besides getting a laptop for my son, I am going to get something for myself (which I almost never do). It is completely technologically sexy, and really, a PDA would "work", but I present you with the Sony Vaio UX Micro PC.

At a mere 5.19" x 3.74" with a Pentium 1.6 gHz processor, 512 RAM, 128 Video RAM, 4.5" SVGA 1024x600 LCD screen, built in keyboard, two built in cameras (yes, two), Cingular SIM card, WiFi, WWAN, WLAN, BluTooth, and a 30 gig hard drive running Microsoft XP Pro, this thing utterly blows away every PDA, ever!

It is totally frivolous, and as soon as I get paid, I am buying one.
