To iPad 2 or Not to iPad 2

Gah, indecision.  I was almost certain I was going to order an iPad 2 right on 1 AM, but now that I go to push through the motions, I find myself backing out.  “Wait ’til morning, see how you feel” crosses my mind.  Damn my insufferable apathy! I’m also tempted just to rock up to… Read more

I wonder if the banks wonder why people hate them?

So I was set to phone home tonight, except I’m out of credit on Skype. No problem! With my futuristic money applying device, the Credit Card™, I can just refill my account instantly and be chatting away in no time. Except that Skype are refusing my card. In fact, all my cards.

This weekend though I should be going skiing, which’ll be a most welcome break. Next weekend I’ll be in Vegas, which also will be a nice break. I don’t believe anything… Read more

One more week down

Not a lot more to report. I have another filling, which from memory brings the total to eight.
