Gadgets

I can’t resist them… love the cool technology… if I was in my twenties, I’d be a super geek… instead of a closet geek. I have a handheld GPS for kayaking on the ocean… a GPS that hooks to my forearm while running… a third GPS, my newest and coolest by far, that clips onto my bike. Haven’t done much kayaking, running or cycling lately- no where near enough to need to search out the stars opinion of my training… but it’s sure cool to have them, just in case.

Most tragic aspect of it all is I barely touch the full capacity of what any one of the tools/toys are capable of doing. That would require a REAL geek… and Lord knows they’re not working out!

Stopped in for a fast food lunch recently and was greeted by the machine below- literally- greeted by it… a machine to order our whopper combos without talking to a soul… bliss… if I owned a Burger King I’d have one… just because.

I posted the photo using my new “blogger on the go” from my cell phone. More geeky, yet cool technology, allowing one to update their blog, photos and all, from anywhere there’s cell phone service.

Lord Help Us All.

While on a run, or ride, or in my Kayak, I can locate a Burger King, and if they’re really on top of it, text message my order to their new gadget, stop by and pick it up for lunch and then head out to work… oh yeah… work!

gotta go,

Eric
