It's really fun having a family that loves gadgets and techie stuff. WD and I headed out to the ATandT store today to buy upgraded phones and service. After dealing with Verizon for 2 years, we were so glad to have new options now. ATandT doesn't have near the restrictions Verizon does... can change plans, add lines, upgrade phones, etc without extending contracts. I loved my Blackberry (can't live without it), so I didn't want to give it up. WD easily convinced me that the newer Blackberry would work just as well, not to mention they had a red one! It's so really fun... I even was able to download a song with this new Blackberry whereas before I simply had the Blackberry tone. The next time you hear "Low", it may just be my phone... not very professional, but lots of fun to jam to!

Back-to-School "Gadget"
Classes officially resumed for the Spring 2008 semester on Monday. I have gotten a "slow" start compared to last semester... lots of stuff going on from work projects to prepping for Erin's dance competition season. I logged in to my classes and got started tonight while my DVR played an old Oprah episode in the background. Then something caught my eye on TV:
Oprah was highlighting (no pun intended) items that she thought were innovative. She had a shoe designer, Cold Stone Creamery, Carmex, and a product designer from 3M who works specifically for "Post-its" on the show. Post-it has come out with the 3M Post-it Flag Highlighter! Basically it's a highlighter built with a little flag dispenser on the side! I will have to make a stop by Office Depot to pick up a few of these for this semester! Especially since my book expense for two online classes has now topped $170... I'll make sure to really mark up those textbooks with notes, highlights, and flags!
