Gifts Accepted

In exactly one week, I will be another year older. That’s right, my birthday is next Monday. And being the kind and considerate person that I am, I’m going to help you choose a gift to buy for me. (I’m just really nice like that.)

While I love girly things and traveling, those are things that I get for myself. I also buy geek stuff for myself but this is one of those items that I really want really bad so I’m going to tell you about it just in case you want to make give me something special.

It’s a USB Digital Microscope. You hook it up to your computer and then you can see anything at all – like the surface of your desk or your keyboard – magnified up to 200X, right on your monitor. I don’t know about you but I think that’s just really really cool.

The only thing I want more than the microscope right now is for someone to persuade Verizon to run fiber optic cables through my neighborhood so we can do something about this awful DSL I’m paying to not use every month.

I have a better chance of someone reading this buying that microscope. That’s sad.
