It also made me grateful that I myself am in a mutual geek relationship — we drool over new tech announcements together and scheme about what our next home tech purchase together will be.
We're a total geek couple (though not as dorky as Screech Powers and Violet Bickerstaff, there). It's as perfect as it can get for me.
But what about you? Is one of you the geek in your relationship, or are you both geeks?
The Simple Dock in particular, is no exception; not only is it pretty nice looking (though my thoughts are still in conflict over whether I like the faux leather), but the size is great for a smaller place or desk. Which brings me to my next point; iPod docks these days keep showing up with so many bells and whistles and extras, and sometimes you — or a person you might want to give it to you — don't need all that.
But still, Pottery Barn did it again with their disappointing pricing: $80 for this? It was appealing to me until I got to that point. It'll inevitably go on sale, but I still don't understand why they price such simple (but not altogether unique) products so high.
Microsoft recently unveiled a mandatory site redesign for Hotmail, which looks blue and pleasant enough, but not everyone is as happy with the new look. I wanted to take a look-see, so I signed up for an account. Even though it's been years, I remembered my old Hotmail account info — not that it mattered, since everything is Windows Live now.
But, oh to access my old Hotmail account — I had it during my college days years ago, when it seemed like everyone did, though I now use mainly Gmail (where it seems all my friends are now, too). Since I feel like a Hotmail account a few years ago was as pervasive as AOL was 15 years ago and Gmail is now, prove or unprove my theory: Have you ever been a Hotmail user?
Even though Keepaboo bills itself as a site to capture memories of your child, it's not just the lilsugar enthusiasts who will benefit.
There are fun places to upload classic quotes from your subject, track their growth, and a variety of albums, like sorted by months (which makes me think, hello new puppy album). Just goes to show — you don't need babies to coo over something!
This is not the first time I've seen a hybrid laptop sleeve/bag, but it is probably the first time I've see one like this — with the long shoulder strap that makes it look more convenient to carry.

"So you're not a computer geek," Jim told Pam on this week's episode of The Office. It was kind of sad to hear, knowing Jim is geeky himself, but I know they can get through this.
