Well, I got a new cell phone for my birthday. It didn't arrive in the mail until this past Monday, the 23rd, the day after The Day, and what a nice surprise! We've been talking about replacing my old cell phone because the battery wasn't staying charged for long and it was old - almost 3 years! - so some of its features weren't functioning properly. So my wife ordered it online from the Sprint Store, and thus I am now the proud owner of a Samsung HighNote. She got an incredible deal, too, which is the ultimate highlight of the HighNote. This dang thing is going to take me awhile to get used to! The technology of these things simply blows me away, to be quite honest. I mean, my new cell can do everything but blow my nose and wipe my butt -- which will probably be features of the next generation of cell phones. At any rate, I can now do pictures, videos, have internet access, it has a GPS feature, and all sorts of other doo-dads that I'll probably never use. The User Guide is almost a full inch thick, for criminey's sake! At least I can now have all sorts of fun with this when I go to cons, such as AggieCon 40, which technically begins at 4 PM today. I'll be going pretty much Friday evening through Sunday morning, mostly for Dan and his buddy Peter to do gaming and check out the dealer's room and hospitality suite. Me, I'll be floating around some panels and things in general. I will probably post photos and updates of the con in here as the weekend goes along.

I shall look forward to your photos but I have to admit that I don't own a cell phone and, in fact, wouldn't even know how to use one. Maybe someday....
