Obsession

OBSESSION: It’s really been bugging me that my Merrill Lynch account has been a little bit off for the past few months. They make their statements very hard to read, so I couldn’t quite figure out what I was missing. Well, tonight, I figured it out. I hadn’t recorded 67 cents in interest that I got back in November. I feel much better now.

I find the funniest stuff at crabwalk. Behold: D&D Monster Ratings — this is really funny. Brought back memories of playing D&D with my geeky friends back when I was 13 or so. I guess I never thought about how messed up some of the monsters are. Here’s a good quote: “As far as I know, the idea of a six-legged panther with squid tentacles that looks like it’s somewhere other than it really is originated in the mind of D&D creator E. Gary Gygax, possibly as the result of blunt trauma.”

Verizon

I’ve been doing some more research into Verizon’s deal on the Kyocera 7135. It now appears as though it might be a bit more expensive than I originally thought, but not by much. I may be able to get a discount based on my company’s corporate plan, though, so that might bring it back down a few bucks. Verizon sure doesn’t make it easy to figure out their pricing plans.

phones

I’m thinking about trading in my cell phone and my Palm i705 for a Kyocera 7135 from Verizon. It would wind up costing me about the same per month as my current cell phone service (about $25) and my Palm.net service (about $20) combined. The only problem is that the unit costs about $500. Maybe I should wait a little while longer. Go here for a nice review on the unit.
