The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. ...technology delight plus a corny joke in one. Better than a lymeric, no? ;) #followingdirectionsFAIL Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married.

For a Clapper-esque gadget did I pine So on a 3-outlet remote I dropped $19.99, Now I turn them all on with delight. (Seriously... best twenty bucks I've ever spent... now instead of climbing behind the TV or under a table to plug in all my Christmas lights and turn on a lamp, I just click the button. Sometimes I just sit there turning it on and off while giggling to myself. Simple joys!) This is similar to what I bought at Target: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Woods-13568-3-Outlet-Wireless-Converter/dp/B001Q9EFUU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1261094641&sr=8-4" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Woods-13568-3-Outlet-Wirele...</a> Oh, a beautiful room full of lights,

It's the small things for me. The little things it enables me to do. Like pack 30 books in my purse and not be limited by purse size or weight. #kindle. The fact that my father, who used to have me read his emails to him and would then dictate his response is now a FB and Myspace fanatic. The amount of trouble I'll be in for getting him a webcam this christmas? #fantastic (let's just pray he doesn't discover Craigslist) The fact that computer games and the systems themselves not only take me into a complete other world, but allow me to meet people I would never have had the courage to otherwise. That's not even delving into how FAR we've come with technology! Camera's themselves have moved from daguerreotype to DSLR's with lens that allow us to view down to the nanoscopic levels! **edited bc your site told me I was rambling on too much** ;-) Technology is a constant delight for me and there's always something new that's making me laugh, smile, or just plain enjoy.
