Bonding

With the same awkward care as holding a newborn for the first time, I unbundled him and took him in my hands. He looked so tiny and cute, wrapped in a thin pale pink blanket. I wondered where his talents would eventually lie, once he wakes up from his tranquil sleep. I stared at him and welcome him into my world. You and I are going places together. He remained silent, acquiescent, just the way I like him to be. I wonder what inspirations you’ll give me. I said with a faint smile. I felt him stir as I gently inserted the battery and powered him on. He awoke from hibernation with a cute yawn and a lot of promise. With my fingers on his keys and a light stroke of his pad, we were properly introduced. We are going to finish that novel together. But for the time being, we are… bonding.

I struggle when it becomes time to update my computer let alone ad devices, that absolutely never give me the warm and fuzzes, just the hot and Postals. I would do better with tech skills but for now I just have to overuse the word Luddite to help me cover my disability. I am shamed but at the same time, not really. Good luck with your little friend.

Ooooh…someone’s got a new ultraportable. What is it? The awe inspiring X300? The amazing EeePC? Tell us! Tell us!

Hehe, just for a second there I thought you’d joined the legions of queing nutters all clammering for a piece of i-junk.
I should have known better… one who is so unafraid of the inside of a PC desktop case would scarcely bother!!!

Will you give him cowriting credit on the sleeve?
Or will he be just an unsung hero like Jose Canseco’s ghostwriter??

I love Tamagotchi pets. Oh, books are fun too.

I love new electronics! I’m so glad that there’s another woman out there who loves them as much as me!
Have fun bonding!

Does it come in purple? LOL
I’m jealous!
ps. hey — you may use a diff code over here than CSS (which is what I use in old blogger)… but I realy like the new-fangled “recent comments” widget on your sidebar.
Share where you got it?

JW: No need to be ashamed. I’m a bit over the top when it comes to electronic gadgets. Whoever heard of upgrading a pen?
Kami: His surname is vaio, and he’s ever so sleek and sexy!
Gboy: I refuse to bow to an all-Apple god when Google already has my soul. As for the i-Junk (love it!!), I have an iHunk with a slideout keyboard that does me quite well, a bit hunky but we’re in a relationship.
You’re too right about opening that box! I can’t believe I’ve fixed it
Zen: If hr vcan ghost write, I’d even kiss him! Anything to get me writing that story and writing it well.
Egan: I’ve never had one. But I hear they’re cute and adorable if you’re into them.
Sicilian: I’m so glad another female shares my passion for geeky toys. And to say I played with Barbioe dolls as a child!
LB: It comes in Ruby Red, which is the closest. that was the colour I wanted but I got a very good deal on a black one. There was no way in hell I was buying pink!!!
The widget is a WordPress plugin, you download it and activate it but unfortunately won’t work on Blogger.
LB: For some reason, I’m keeping the lil double comment. Kinda cute

Oooh…a Vaio. Maybe one fine day your Vaio and my EeePC will meet and they can make lots of…connections between one another.
Or they’ll just argue a lot. One never knows these things.

Kami: They’d probably argue over Bluetooth!

I drove across country with a Tamagotchi pet and the sucker kept me awake. Seriously. I didn’t want the thing to die on me so I remembered to feed it, shake it, … just not after midnight though.

egan: That’s so cute! Hope you weren’t driving and feeding. Hmm…that sounds wrong…

I was a very bad electronic virtual daddy.

egan: Really? I’m a good electronic virtual mummy. Maybe we should meet over a latte and discuss. Oh wait, you’re a Mac Daddy, aren’t you…
