The Gadgeteer


Despite my curmudgeony ways, I'm quite the gadgeteer.  From a digital wireless weather center with remote thermometer and rain gauge, a mini subwoofer under the seat of my car back in 1979 (BMW was NOT into high-end sound back then), an aftermarket cassette deck under the passenger seat of my '72 Challenger (great for changing tapes when on a date), the Bluetooth adjunct for my stereo I mentioned back in January, to programming my Universal Remote (you do it via the web now!), I like my gadgets.

This also neatly combines trash-is-the-last-resort and keeping up-to-date with modern technology.

And convenience?  Say no more - bathroom lights that come on automatically as you enter, remote light switches, four different timers for lights to come on in the evening (excluding the two seasonal timers for lights in trees outside), and on and on.

Naturally, the local Sharper Image DEMANDS my undivided attention. Really - it's not just the vibrating massage chairs.
