Nice PlayBook
At lunch today I saw a presumably important businessman using the BlackBerry PlayBook, the new tablet that has been maligned by critics mostly because it doesn’t have e-mail or calendar software on it (geeks call these “native applications” I guess because they have something to do with Indians).

New Tools
It recently came to my attention that I lack even the most basic of tools. No hammer, no screwdriver of either the Phillips head or regular type, and most importantly, not a single crowbar which is used for levering things and is a well-known sign of social status.

Me: "So I drove a Harley for the first time today. It was amazing and it got me thinking that after we find a house and pay for the honeymoon and take care of a few other expen-"
Her: "No."
