Inspired by JC’s (with or without periods?) recent blog post and some prodding, I’ll give a little update.  Now that I’ve logged into Wordpress, I should probably update the blog software.  I haven’t had much fun with software updates at work recently though, so maybe I’ll wait for karma to swing back in my favor first.

Since August I’ve got a few new toys.  #1 is the iPhone 3g.  I had to wait a couple months for my old AT&T/Cingular/AT&T phone to become upgrade eligible, but when it did I promptly got the 16GB version.  I recently got a case for it as well since it’s in my pocket all day and I was wary of scratching from my car keys.  The iPhone became especially usual when getting directions across northern Indiana over Thanksgiving weekend.  While visiting family and eating turkey we had to go into town (South Bend, home of Notre Dame) and it was definitely reassuring to have GPS tracking us across rural roads.  #2 is an HD LCD Tv.  It’s my Christmas present to myself and yes, I did deserve it.

Now I’m back in Eugene and back to the grind.  I should be able to finish a major IT project this month, along with usual PC and server maintenance.  Throw in some holidays and before you know it the year will be over.
