It’s a beautiful spring day here at The Restless Mouse, naturally there’s folks that have to jump in their cars and race up and down the street, or fire up various chittychittybangbang lawn equipment, and there is a little girl down the lane who just discovered screaming, and she’s very good at it. I was going to buy the whistle she had last week, guess that won’t do much good now. I’ll have to dig up the earplugs.
That’s my story. What’s YOUR major malfunction today?
I got my long-awaited Chumby Internet Appliance a few days ago, so far I mainly use it to stream music from the Internet to my night-stand, but soon I will set it up to route only my most important email (customer emails and orders) so I can look at it without getting up.
This might seem a bit frivolous to you, but I work a graveyard shift trying to dig up more money, and to a night shift worker, sleep is a most precious thing. If I happen to be like 48% awakened, I can use one eye to check the chumby, and if I don’t have anything to deal with right away, it eases my mind and I can ramp up to maybe 95% asleep, never reaching the sweet release of 100% comatose, but that’s not important right now.
ANYWAY - I must say I am most impressed with the quality and simplicity of this device. It’s so well designed and of such high quality, I suspect it was made by fallen Amish people who could not resist technology.
