The internet is really, really good for…
I got a new toy.
Frustrated to finally confirm, after searching the depths of my control panel and trying to convince myself otherwise, that my new laptop is indeed without an internal microphone, I bought a cheap one so I can voice chat with folks in the old ‘hood. Since the price for a microphone headset was nearly the same as a cheap internet phone kit with web cam, I decided to go for it. So now I have a web cam. Don’t all jump out of your seats excited, thinking I’m going to start videocasting. I’m not. Trust me, it’s better this way.
Actually, it’s kind of weird. It feels a bit, I don’t know, invasive. A bit porn or something. Except for this 1-800-DENTIST, how may I direct your call? headset. It’s not very sexy. But, I shouldn’t knock the headset actually, the sound is pretty good. I can picture it now, rockin’ out on a run with these headphones. Hot!
I’m such a geek.

Oh, I think the headset look will really work for you.

Too funny! I work for a technology company, so we actually have a guy in the office wearing a camera 24/7. Incidentally it’s pointed at my back right now, which is a little spooky. http://justin.tv/ramsey
Enjoy the chatting!

Two of the girls in our office use the headsets, I always think they are talking to themselves.
Have fun with your new toy!
