So in an attempt to curb my gadget lust, I’m limiting myself to one “luxury” item per month. Last month I bought myself the Samsung T240hd LCD monitor/TV. I genuinely needed a better monitor and this can double as a tv when I no longer live with a roommate who owns a big one. (Chad’s TV matches mine. They’re both from the Touch of Color series. His, however, is 46 inches. :-D) Thanks to microsoft cashback, I’ll be getting back $130, so I don’t feel too guilty about it.
This month, I’m on the market for a nice rice cooker. Mine refuses to cook rice, after years and years of service. I’m thinking of getting one of the fancy Zojirushi ones that’s so smart it could probably save the world while cooking the perfect pot of rice. The consensus on the web seems to be that the best rice cookers are made in Japan… reviews are positive in that these machines seem to last years and years.
Next month, I’m thinking internal hard drive (at least 750gb) + external case. My WD MyBook has failed me with the click of death. I should have known better than to buy western digital, but alas, its cute design and irresistible blue LEDs overpowered my good sense. Luckily, black friday sales are going to occur during this month, so I’ll see if I can get good deals then…
