The Geek Life, Part I: Hardware

It's been a while since I wrote about the hardware and software that makes it possible for Me to do all the things I do. We'll start with the Hardware, move on to Software in Part II, while Part III will deal with specific websites often used, and we'll finish with what fun things happen in combination.

I've got lots of geeky gadgetry, though I'm not always successful in using it all the time, and sometimes one device can replace one or two others, but not always permanently.

The core of My Digital Hub (thank you, Steve Jobs) is My Apple 12 inch Powerbook G4. The Powerbook is 29 months old and needs some of its stickers replaced, as they've become not so nice looking overtime. Just about everything revolves around said laptop.

I recently bought a decent cell phone, instead of the cheap stuff that gets given away free with new accounts. I ended up with the Motorola RAZR with the dragon etching on it. The design is actually one created by Ami James as featured in the show Miami Ink. However stylish the phone is however, I was more concerned with its functions, such as Bluetooth, a decent interface, and the calendaring (which we'll get into further in the software section).
