We now have pet rats. They're the cutest things ever, et cetera. Seriously, domesticated rats are like tiny dogs. They're the anti-hamsters. Their names are Duncan, Malcolm, and Banquo.
On an unrelated note, I still use a small, keyboardless folding phone, and rely on T9 text prediction for text messaging.
T9 does not know the word "Banquo." This isn't surprising; it's not exactly a standard dictionary word. What is surprising is that its suggested alternative is "Aborto." Which I'm pretty sure is Jhonen Vasquez's new superhero comic.

ReplyDeleteOld phone still works. Why replace it? ;)
ReplyDeleteWe also kept our old, low-res box TV long past the point where it got unfashionable, replacing it with a newfangled flat box only when the old one actually stopped working.
I tend to put low demands on my technolo-gah, so it's not a big deal. The only time I notice is when something needs wiki-ing and the smartphoned-up ladies aren't around, or back when I was playing Red Dead Redemption and couldn't read the ammo stat on the heads-up display.
Give me a month or two. The battery on the old workhorse is finally starting to go, and I'll probably replace it with one of those little Google-driven uberzeugs y'all are so crazy about.
See, I figured the women would have brought you over to the dark side with promies of dessert-flavored cookies and magic elf boxes already. Beware, with great power comes great battery drains. You might recall that I was festooned with batteries at #NRAAM
