I splurged and got a new watch today. Same concept as my old watch, but much fancier. It's essentially a wristwatch PDA (no big deal now, but imagine how cool that was when I got it in 1996). Unfortunately, it connects via USB now, rather than the bizarre optical transmission of the old one, which involved holding the watch in front of a computer monitor while white horizontal lines kept blinking on and off. I miss the coolness that that provided, but at least now I feel like a cyborg when I have a USB cable hooked up to my wrist.

It's so much more powerful than the old one! I didn't even know what iCal was before today, but now I have the entire Phillies 2005 schedule and Philadelphia Shabbat candlelighting times for the rest of 2005 in my watch.

Ha, nice! Though I could probably get most of that on my watch, if I tried hard enough. (Well, the parts I care about, at least. I, um, wouldn't find much use for a zman kriyat shema alarm every morning.) And mine was cheaper.

Speaking of, though, have you seen this?

Yup. It inspired me to start downloding shiurim from 613.org and putting them on my ipod. For a few weeks I was a good dooby and went walking and learning for an hour a day. Then life got in the way. Doesn't it always? Maybe I should start again, though, for my busrides. Hmmm.
