Hitting the wall

by freeandflawed on February 10, 2009

Hello. My name is Jenn and I have a problem. I’m a techoholic.

Like any tech-savvy chick I don’t leave the apartment without a full ensemble of gadgets: iPhone, Macbook (alternately named Pancake) and my iPod. Some may question why I have an iPhone and iPod. To those nay-sayers I say don’t judge! Why clutter up my phone with mp3s? I caress copies of Wired as they arrive. The covers feel cool. I get excited over concept phones and even wagons! I get overjoyed when someone asks me what an RSS feed is!

I didn’t think my problem was severe until I tried to run through glass to get to a room FULL of iMacs.

What kind of person taunts someone like that? Why would you leave dozens of iMacs locked in a room for no one to touch?

You can thank Deutlich and Maxie for capturing this image for me.

I had a similar experience with a guitar shop once.

..and when they were building the new Apple Store in Boston.

Hell, I have a history of walking into things trying to admire stuff. So let’s just agree that it’s okay?

My laptops name is Winston. And I love that picture, much like a kid pressed up against the glass of a petshop. “Can’t I take them all home?”

I still haven’t found names for my laptops :(

nameless :(

But that is just a tease! (Cute pic though)

And I totally understand about the iPhone and iPod. I want a Palm Pre when it comes out, but I’ll supplement with an iPod, Shuffle and Nano for the car. :D

These days, I’m carrying an iphone, a regular phone and an ipod. I think I need to go to whatever 12 step group you might find for techno-addiction

Getting someone to take a picture of you to prove you have a problem is the first step… :)

I can’t remember if I’ve ever commented on your blog before, but I’ve been reading it for a while and I love it!

Techies unite!

I’m so with you on the whole iPhone AND iPod! I have some music on my phone, just in case. But generally speaking, I like the division too :)

I am slowly becoming more and more like this. Which I take it means a future of running into glass. Lucky me :)

Erlack! That is funny. I’m not really into Macs like some people (ie you) but everything else I can’t resist.

Ouch! That’s never a good thing!

Like you, I’ve got all those accessories, too. And while my co-worker makes fun of me for bringing my iPod and iPhone in to work, I cannot justify loading my phone up with music. It’s just not my style. (OK, and I don’t want to have to decide what to put on the phone because I have so much music.)

I would have tried to free them, too. And then brought one home for myself. Two are better than one.

I’m so jealous you got to hang out with all those fabulous peeps! When I leave the house, I do so with iPod, phone, iBook, portable wireless mouse, and then perhaps my planner and a book to read (not a textbook, ever).

I’m the same way with my iPhone and iPod… the iPhone is only for back-up music when the iPod dies. Otherwise, they shall not have cross purposes. It just seems a little blasphemous to me.

I wish I was cook enough to have a Macbook. But, on the bright side, I do have 4 iPods.
