Even though I can usually wait for a gadget's hype to die down, I had to stand in line for the iPhone 3G — I have a reputation to uphold!
Standing in line for a gadget teaches you something about yourself. Mainly that I hate everyone. Just kidding! I'm not some misanthrope, it just inevitably happens that the people I stand near in lines end up being people I can't wait to never see again. But most likely, pretty much anyone you stand within close proximity for seven hours is going to start wearing on your nerves.
If you stood in a line on Friday, then you'll surely see where I'm coming from. Check it out here, via my and my cohorts' experience: The Top 10 Profiles of Gadget Liners!
The Space Invader (also known as the Encroacher): The people who can't quite accept that they're in line behind you and spend the multiple line hours stealthily trying to stand next to you, and eventually in front of you, stepping on your feet, until a withering look sends them back to their place.
The Internet has been so over-saturated with the geeky cake phenomena that I have been totally brainwashed into thinking that everything edibly geek must be sweet. Not so, says the "1Up Mushroom" Mushroom Burger!
The only edible 1Up mushroom treat that I had spotted before was these candy sours, but now my mouth is watering for red meat, mozzarella, and portobello mushrooms. And some green food coloring for the caps, too, obviously.
Some of you thought I was crazy for waiting in line six hours for a cell phone, but when you get that rush, that feeling of pure satisfaction and joy when a shiny and new gadget is in your hands, it's well worth the wait and then some. The long-awaited iPhone 3G launch in SF has come and gone and here are a few of my memorable moments from that lonnng day which will go down in history with last year's exhilarating iPhone launch day.

PS: Are you a Mac girl or a PC girl?
LC: Both actually, mostly PC but I like Macs to edit photos or art.
PS: Do you ever Google your dates?
LC: Yeah, all of them! But I don’t believe everything I read though. I Google pictures to see ex-girlfriends and stuff, ha ha.

Many of you are like me and put your DVD collection out on display, so I don't think many of you find your home tech - TVs, computers, speakers - unattractive, but still, many people like to hide these things behind closed doors.
I love it when gadgets end up enhancing your interior, but I also think it's cool when people figure out a way to keep a TV from interfering in their "look" — receding paintings, armoires with doors, curtains. And I've always been a fan of secretary-style desks, where your laptop can hide inside a little desk. I don't hide anything, but I'd consider something like this hutch from Pottery Barn to break up the visual noise.
What about you, do you hide any of your home technology?
