Onward, Luddite soldiers
So I seem to have a cell phone.
I've spent a while programming numbers into it (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brooksmoses's home number, erispope's pager, my brother's cell). I spent a while longer pounding on it until it vibrated instead of making noise (though there was a bit where I was shouting at it for playing the New World Symphony faster than a largo, and an incredible bemusement as an electro-beepy version of Stars and Stripes Forever set off my S&SF reflexes).
It has a little screen. When it doesn't have anything better to do, it shows a panda walking (down and to the right).
Or, asoneironaut put it, I have a tamagotchi that happens to allow me to talk to people who are far away.
(Am I the only person who can't help but think of 'tamagotchi' as if the last syllables were the I-think-Yiddish word that I've generally seen used to mean 'thingy'?)
