Having recently traveled, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just not terribly realistic (or smart) to travel without a computer. Which means that I’m going to have to get a laptop. I’ve had one before – a 12-inch Mac that I literally melted. That is – I fused the reader arms to the spinning hard drive. Though it’s ridiculously more expensive, that might be an argument for the new hard drives. We’ll see.

At any rate – I need a laptop. Not just so I can roll down to Fair Grounds and look cool sipping my quad soy latte with with sugar in the raw… but because too much of my life is stored online for me to be away from it for days. And while I love my iphone – it’s SO not good for much more than token stabs at staying updated. Fifteen minutes of looking at the itty bitty screen and I’m ready to mug the guy next to me on the platform for his laptop case (that probably contains a PC).

So laptop it is. This one, to be exact. :)
