Those of you know know Haze may or may not know by now that we had to get rid of him. He was originally my brother’s dog, Brought home somewhat as a joke (Surprise mom, we have a dog) but has really become a part of the family. We had to get rid of him because he was getting to be very dangerous. If he didn’t already absolutely love you, you couldn’t enter our house without him growling, or barking. He really was a smart dog, though stubborn and way-too overprotective over my brother mostly, but also me and my parents. As I said. Way-too overprotective, to the point we had to bring him to a shelter because of his attitude. By this time, he has been put to rest and only tonight when my brother sent me a video clip of haze doing some tricks that we both taught him, did I realize just how much I miss him.

Exhausting Weekend
This has been a long weekend. But a good one.. I got to check out DigitalLife at the Javits center in New York. For those of you who don’t know, DigitalLife is “The ultimate consumer technology & entertainment event”. The event was pretty cool. I got to check out a lot of cool new products, some (most) out now, others coming soon. The most interesting being a new web cam from Creative Labs (Which I should have bought at the show, but do I really need it? Probably not, but if I do I at least know that it has the quality and capabilities I want).
I got to go as a VIP which entitled me to free admission, as well as free admission for 5 others. Unfortunately we all *bought* discount tickets a few days before I got my confirmation. I got to check out the opening keynotes. Though it was mostly a commercial for Intel, there is some cool stuff coming out. PC systems with more processing power and multi-tasking capabilities are just on the horizon, though much of the new equipment is available now or will be very soon.
The unfortunate part is the lack of next-gen PC systems and absolutely no mention of Windows Vista. That and most of the vendors there were not that well versed in the products they were displaying. Zyxel, for example did not know the specs on one of the products that they had on display and one of my associates was informed of this hot new technology called Serial ATA (SATA), which I installed in my brother’s computer last year… So new!
What’s more exciting then new technology, is lots of great swag! 🙂
Also got lots of demo software, business cards, special offers and discounts (for services I’ll never use)
Wrong, but funny!
Come and go
It seems that the binder ahead of me is in contract now, so we’ll see what happens. There’s always the chance that the board will turn down the person. After all, The kid’s parents are buying the place for their son to live in, where with me, I’m actually buying my own place.
So keep your fingers crossed for me. And if I don’t get it, then it wasn’t meant to be. After all, the more time I wait, the more i’ll be able to save up and afford.
Home Sweet Home
It’s started. I put down my first Binder on my own home. I found a co-op in Westbury that I like and have started the negotiations. Granted, there is one binder ahead of mine (that I know of) but if that falls through, I’m next in line and it would be really cool to have my own place. I was actually a bit shaky about it at first, but the more I think about it, the more psyched I get about it. The greatest part is that I’m buying it out. Not just dumping money into an apartment leaving me with less than I started with when I decide to leave or move up.
