Lots of Monkeys

I’m in the allergist’s office when I realize I’ve left my phone on my desk, charging. “No problem,” I think as I pull out the tablet. Their waiting room has WiFi, so I will simply connect and get back to Twitter and gmail and path.

Then I notice that their connection is not letting me on.

I contemplate asking the receptionist about the WiFi, maybe a router just needs to be rebooted, a cable unplugged and plugged back in again.

but then I realize that sounds desperate, “You know, your internet doesn’t seem to be working, I can, you know, take a look at it.”

And then the full realization hits me.

I have just taken allergy shots, and I cannot leave here for thirty minutes. 

I will be without this link, this network, for a full thirty minutes.

And that thought is mildly terrifying.

So I purchased a Nexus 7. For those playing the home game, it’s the 16GB version.

I have no idea when it gets here, but I’m looking forward to it. I find that the seven inch is the ideal size for everyday carry, not so large that it is unwieldy to take out of a bag, but still large enough to view things comfortably.

Jelly Bean is the unknown here, as I’ve already been playing with Ice Cream Sandwich on a flashed Kindle Fire.

Looking forward to it.
