So upon researching GPS devices for my Dad's BDay present, I happened upon the news that the Blackberry Playbook has dropped dramatically in price (from 5 bills to 2). Naturally, my "oh! There's a deal to be had!" radar went off crazily.
Am I ready to enter the tablet-age? Do I listen to my wife who says that I already have an internet addiction and that this won't help at all? And the almighty question: do I need one? (already know the answer to the last question: no, absolutely not. I do know what would be considered a need vs. a want. This, I think I want).
I always eschewed the iPad for whatever reason, always thinking that if I were to get a tablet it would be the BlackBerry one. And now with this price-point...uh-oh. Looks like I'm having one of those altogether unnecessary only-in-my-society-while-other-societies-struggle-to-eat dilemmas. Sad, but the conspicuous consumerism is still strong in my psyche

I really should be sleeping more. Been running ragged all week, being on-call, working late on the fireplace, waking up early because of the boy...but I won in basketball this morning. A non-sequitur, but it does make me happy
