Tech Lust

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Hi. My name is Joe Casabona, and I have an technology addiction. Over that last few weeks I’ve been accumulating a list of tech stuff I really want, and subsequently try to justify buying. Of course, money is also a contributing factor, but I can probably move some funds around, right?

The short list of stuff includes:

  • The Dell Mini PC– This one I think I can justify buying because it’s a cheap laptop that runs Windows, an OS I currently lack. I have reservations about dual booting my Mac or running a program like parallels. I want to keep the two separate and run them simultaneously. This would allow me to browser test in IE, as well as do somethings I can’t do (or do well) on my Mac (I’m talking to you, Blackberry). Speaking of…
  • The Blackberry Bold– I am waiting on baited breath for the day this phone comes to Verizon Wireless users. This phone has literally everything my Blackberry does not- better (full) browser, updated OS, camera, WiFi, regular sized headphone jack. I cannot wait for this one.
  • Sega Dreamcast– I was in my local video game shop the other day, reserving The Force Unleashed, which I got a feeling of nostalgia for the great but underrated gaming console. Looks like I’ll be scouring ebay soon.

Of course, there are plenty of other things, like a bluetooth receiver for my iPod Touch, etc, etc. Those things I can probably buy on a whim depending on how good I fee. And what, might I ask, are the tech things you really want to buy?

    When I was in grammar school (or primary school, depending on where you live), we had a fenced-in slab of pavement where the students could play during recess.

    6 Months with the iPad Mini (Gear and Apps)

    When the 2021 iPad Mini came out last September, I immediately purchased it and thought it would be the perfect research companion. I wrote all about it here. Now that I’ve had it for about 6 months (and the birth of one child), I thought I’d revisit that post and discuss the gear, apps, and workflows I’ve implemented.
