By now you realize I'm technologically inclined. I don't know why I am so fond of technology. It's not as though I'm one to like things just because other people do. If I did, then I'd be into things like reality television and the Motorola RAZR. I'm not. Granted, I own a RAZR, but I hate it. I purchased one not realizing its shortcomings. But I digress.
I have spent the weekend in tech envy. My family has the means to spend a bit. At least more than I do. My brother and my mom just bought iPhones. I got to play with them, and now I very desperately want one. I'm sitting here willing Dave to purchase his 3G iPhone quickly so that I can inherit (for a moderate fee) his old one. It's a phone and a PDA, but worlds better. It's fun.
I'm also sitting here watching the olympics on my parents' LCD HDTV. I don't really know why I want an LCD TV. It's not like I watch a lot of TV, I think. I mean I do, but we have a decent TV. This is a want that I can't explain.
One of the bigger pangs I've had this weekend, though, is due to my brother's car. He has a Subaru sTi. I didn't realize just how unbelievably awesome the car is until I drove it yesterday. It's a nice feeling, when pressing the accelerator, having your head pressed into the back of the driver's seat, hearing the turbo kick in, and just taking off. I realized afterward that it wasn't the tires that were squeaky, but rather my driving. The car's got enough torque to leave some of the tire rubber on the road surface. Now if only Subaru could figure out a way to get that going with better fuel economy, I'd be in business...
I also think I am too fond of the ellipse, but that's a thought to be explored at another time.
