Cool Toy Day!

Yesterday, I brought home another baby. (No, not a real one -- I heard y'all on the Hucklebug -- there's nothing going on on that front). I am now the proud parent of a 27-inch iMac! It's a monster. But it really is like bringing home another member of the family. I teared up a little when I had to put the old iMac back in its box -- it had been a good little computer, and never totally crapped out on me in seven years of service. The Boy may get it when he's a little older.

I had to figure out what to do with it, so I joined Facebook. I'm not sure I have the hang of it yet. I'm happy with my blog -- I get blogs and it's not a thousand things being shouted at me at once. So far it seems like everyone is surfing it all the time. I comment, and 20 seconds later someone is commenting back or something. But I'm there, finally. You can all back off now.

However, by far the coolest thing I brought home wasn't the monster, but the iPod nano. Holy crap. This thing is slightly wider and thicker than a credit card, but shorter. It's got a color screen, a video camera, an FM radio, a pedometer, and it can probably wash my car. I almost wish it was bigger, so it would be easier to hold, especially when taking video. Now I have to figure out how to do stuff with video. So far, the Boy won't really sit still to let me take video of him. He wants to see what the little red chip thing is doing.
