G.O.S.S.I.P

I think I am a G.O.S.S.I.P....

Don't get me wrong... I am a Gadget-Obsessed-Status-Symbol-Infatuated-Professional!!

Finally decided to loosen my purse strings and splurge on some techno-unnecessaries..

Bought the Samsung 740N 17" LCD-TFT monitor. Boy! It's good for it's price. Crystal-clear images and a dominating presence on any comuter table.

Second, I bought a 160GB Hard Disk to store all my videos and photos. I have always had a fascination for gadgets and these have just added to my ever-growing list of little gadgets....Bluetooth dongle, thumb drive, Palm PDA, Camera phone, Digital Camera, Handycam, cordless earphones......

Two things missing from the list. Bluetooth hands-free and digital MP3 player. Don't know when I'll acquire that. Don't have my eyes on anything yet. We'll see.

Orkut - The Tender Trap

Finally, I have given in to the Orkut trap...kept hearing about it till my ears started ringing. Someone was kind enough to send me an invite and I got in.

It's interesting, if you can spend long hours on the Internet and have some imagination. You can make friends fast and enjoy the fun.

Don't know if this interest will last long for me though...

Long time, no see

It's been a while since I was here. I have finally managed to create a Travel Blog and hope to maintain it for a long time. You can visit it here http://realtravel.com/india-trips-i1782582.html
BTW, I am already planning my next great purchase. It is going to be a 17" LCD-TFT monitor for my PC at home.Haven't thought of the brand yet. I am tired of seeing that Samsung Black CRT monitor in front of me...Basically, I am getting itchy fingers and want to get out there and shop. While I am there, might as well get me a new hard disk!!

The latest acquisition though, is the latest fad in Bangalore - Worldspace radio. The technology is amazing and I get about 40 channels of stereo sound on a small little BPL DIVA (sorry, not many options!). A small all-weather antenna sits on your roof-top pointed towards the Worldspace geostationary satellite.
