Apparently it’s geek weeks for us. New gadgets (I like to call them “toys”) all around.

First we got our new printer.

Then, Brigette bought her old LCD monitor from work for a whopping $25. That means LCD monitor for her, and two (traditional) monitors for me (I took over the Brigette’s old CRT monitor).

Next, I ordered my new computer, which is currently on its way from Michigan to Vancouver and is scheduled to arrive on June 27.

And finally, last weekend, Brigette and I got ourselves new cell phones. The old ones were three years old by now and mine had been looking really beaten up for a while. Brigette got a LG TG800 and I have a Samsung SGH-D807. They both have cameras, support bluetooth, play MP3s and are all around way more modern than the old ones. Of course, compared to what the really fancy phones (or Blackberries) can do these days, they are probably a little boring, but they’re plenty good enough for what we use them for. Our old phones we gave to Phones for Food.
