i’ll be the first to admit it — i used to be a real gadget-head. if something new, shiny, and electronic came out, i knew about it. i talked about it, read everything i could about it, and saved up for it. most of the time, i ended up owning it. heck, i was single. what else did i have to spend money on?

over time, my position on gadgets has changed. i still like to learn about them, but i’m more of a cautious observer from afar. i have neither the money nor the desire to buy the top-of-the-line, latest and greatest techno-crap. i think that the latest post by Joel Johnson [Gizmodo] pretty much sums up my current line of thought on the world of gadgets.

and for the record: yes, i own a Blackberry — but only because my company pays for it.
