Let's recount the past week in terms of new electronic goodies.
Sunday: Replaced my quickly deteriorating two year-old Razr with a new Blackberry Pearl from T-Mobile. My first Blackberry, i decided to go with it because it was more cell phone-sized than PDA-sized (unlike the regular Blackberry and the Treo), and because the data plans on T-Mobile were $30/month cheaper than those for the Treo on Cingular. I'm in love. I'm not quite sure i knew exactly what a Blackberry did before getting one. Now i'm constantly playing with it to see if it's downloaded any new email. The web browser is passable, and i'm intrigued by the built-in Google maps.
Thursday: Our new Samsung 46" 1080p LCD HDTV arrived on our doorstep. And a heavenly chorus was heard by all. After realizing i had to configure my Xbox 360 to give HD output signals, i fired up Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer and was dumbstruck. Again, a chorus chimed from the heavens.
Friday: The DirecTV man is outside installing our new HD dish, after which we'll plug in the new HD DVR.
And there was much rejoicing.
