My Stuff
I recently upgraded to a
Blackberry 8700g.
Email, cellphone, web
access, and PDA all-in-one.
I love Canon digicams.
I had an S330, then an S230,
now an SD400. They're solidly
made, they take great pictures,
and they're ultra-portable.
I've gone back to the dark
side. I once again have an iPod.
This time it's a 60gb iPod Photo.
The Dell Latitude D620
is my current work laptop.
It's a cleanly designed
Centrino Duo machine with
amazing battery
life and a nice screen.
My home laptop is a
15" Apple MacBook Pro
dual-booting both Mac OS X
and Windows XP. Hooray for
Boot Camp!
I recently upgraded to a 20"
Dell 2001fp LCD. It has great
image quality, and convenient
USB ports on the side.
My current PC is
a P4 system based on an Intel
D915GAG motherboard in an Antec
Sonata II case. 200gb Seagate
SATA hard drive, nVidia GeForce
6600GT video card, SB Live 5.1,
and NEC DVD-RW drive.
Just like with digicams,
I like Canon inkjet printers. My
i860 is quiet, fast, and produces
first-class color prints.
Not much to say here.
If you're an aviation enthusiast
and you have a fast PC,
go buy FS2004 now.
If you get hooked on
flight sims like I did, you'll want
a good flight controller. The
CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB
is probably the best all-around
flight controller out there.
It ain't cheap, though....

| After much deliberation, I've figured out part of my solo trip that starts next weekend. After the meeting in Chicago, I'll fly to London on Friday night. Saturday morning I have a flight from London to Poznan, Poland, arriving in the afternoon. I'm going to spend two nights there, then head to Gdansk for two or three nights, then head to Warsaw, from where I'll fly back to London on Saturday the 14th. I'm hoping to side-trip to Malbork and maybe Torun while there, but I'm trying to play it by ear as much as possible. That's hard for me, because I love to plan every little detail. Or at least obsess about it. Anyway, it's Poland!

| My next baseball card purchase was two boxes of 1990 Fleer. I couldn't remember if I had ever purchased any of these before, but they were dirt cheap - $6 for two boxes - so I figured why not. The run-down of the first pack is as follows: Mark Eichhorn Jim Gott Edgar Martinez (Rookie Card? !!!) Pedro Guerrero Marty Barrett Ozzie Guillen Luis Quinones Joe Hesketh Alvin Davis Jeff Brantley Gary Pettis Mike Marshall Pete Harnisch Larry Andersen Storm Davis |

| I recently decided to slowly get back into baseball card collecting again, after not having bought any cards since 1990. After snooping around on eBay, I found several good deals on boxes of unopened packs from various years and various companies. I got my first box of cards today, and I'm slowly opening and perusing them. This first box is 2000 Topps Series 1, and here's the contents of my first pack: Todd Zeile Brian Hunter Bruce Aven Chuck Finley Ricky Gutierrez Dan Wilson Todd Jones Scott Williamson Paul O'Neill Bobby Higginson 1984 Batting Title - Tony Gwynn Hank Aaron Reprint - 1968 Checklist Whee. This is fun. And either my hands are bigger, or cards have gotten smaller. I'm guessing it's the former....

| My latest entertainment infatuation is the BBC series Life on Mars. It's about an English detective who gets hit by a car, and in his coma, he is transported to 1973. The show is a sort of anti-CSI, with no fancy technology used to solve crimes. It's sort of old-fashioned, but very compelling. I snagged all eight episodes from the first season online, and it was darn good stuff.
