Gadgets raised to the power of obsession
I told myself that I should start "serious" blogging on the 1st of December. I'm sure it's 1st December somewhere in the world. Anyhow..
As I look around my room, all I can find are wires of different lengths with different-looking end points, gadgets at the end of a lot of them, 4 plug-points charging some device or the other and lack of floor space to walk across.
Umm..let's see, there's a modem, a wireless router, a PSP, an iPod (which is very special, and I shall talk about it in another post), one external hard disk (80 GB) and one wannabe external hard disk (200 GB - ha, the trick is, I found a IDE to USB converter and started using a "normal" SATA hard disk as an external disk (for backup). It rocks!), my cell phone, a landline phone, Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers, my camera, headphones (those big, cushion-y ones), the hair straightener and finally, my two laptops (Smoke and Streak, as I call them). All of this and their respective chargers (wherever applicable) packed in a teeny weeny room!
How on earth did they become a part of the way I live? What would I do without them! The only two gadgets that are currently on my wishlist are this and this. The best part is that my PSP, my phone and my laptops are all Internet literate and can talk to each other as well. The sad part - I now need to do something about my room before my parents visit me in a month's time.

@ i - Orkut scrapbook? Are you kidding? I don't get comments like "Hi!!!" or "Can I see your face??" here as yet.
Nice! Living up to your geek image.
Why do you need to clear up the room for your parents? They'll be so glad you don't live with them:)
Hi! Can I see your face? ;-)
Sorry! Couldn't resist.
me too! I have everything listed except the wireless router, psp, iPod, external HDD, wannabe external HDD, cellphone, Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers, camera, headphones, hair straigteners(thankfully!) and laptops....
Please tell me that the special thing about the ipod is that it has been smashed at the wall four times because of something:D
"Will you be Frans with me?"
"a/s/l please"
@Yuvi - Eh, no! The iPod is a work of art. More importantly, it was a birthday gift.
