Well it all started when I dropped my sunglasses at the SciTech children’s museum. They survived the fall, but were later trampled by a hundred 3 year olds. I guess sunglasses are not really a gadget, but it was a sign of things to come.
Shortly after that my watch started acting up. It is a great TAG watch that doesn’t need a
Battery, but it wasn’t keeping time. Then my MP3 player only worked intermittently. Let me tell you, there is nothing worse than going running and having your music source stop about half way through. I tried bringing a radio on my run, but that just wasn’t the same. Later my Ike (my Ipaq…(I know I have a problem with naming objects)) hard reset on me for no reason. I had to sped hours getting it back the way it was.
There have been other examples, but the point is ‘The Gadget gods are against me.’ Now instead of spending money to get new toys; I have to spend just to replace or fix. And I am spending to replace perfectly good stuff. Those sunglasses that I had were fine. My watch is costing a pretty penny to fix it and it is a great watch (not one I can afford or even want to replace). The MP3 player is just going to have to wait until I can afford to do something about it.
My take is that the Gadget gods are just hurting themselves. Now that I’m stuck in catch up mode…it is going to talk awhile until I am cutting edge again.
