Oh, the agony

My left wrist is aching thanks to the ailment that is the bane of every desk jockey: carpal tunnel. A colleague called it the wuss' disease.
But people, it HURTS. I couldn't get to sleep last night it hurt so much.
I wonder if my precious, precious Treo is contributing to this inflammation. Typing messages with my thumbs on a keyboard smaller than a business card can't be good for the nerves in my arm.

Mobile blogging

I just got a new smartphone and I am in love. It's a Treo 680, which is there entry level model. As annoyed as I was with Palm after the debacle I had with them over my TX, I opted to stay with their line rather than forsake $200 in software that's only compatible with their operating system.
Now I can do everything with this handy gadget. I can check email, go online, use my calendar, make shopping lists, look up contact information, edit documents, etc.
I can even post to my blog from this device. In fact, that's what I'm doing right now.

Early morning blogging

It's 3 a.m. and I can't get back to sleep. I woke up at 1:45 and haven't been able to nod off yet.
I must have reached a certain age where sleep becomes more precious and elusive because as a kid and a teen, I would've been able to fall right back to sleep.
But through the excesses of 21st century technology, I am able to lie in bed and blog. It's dark, but the glow of my backlit Palm is all I need. Besides blogging, I've been able to read the NY Times and the Trib as well as browse Blackberries. I'm hoping to replace this wireless PDA with a keyboard smartphone. I'm favoring the Pearl because it's small, but several folks have told me they don't like the keyboard setup. I guess I'll find out near the end of June when my current phone, a battered 2-year-old RAZR, becomes eligible for replacement.
Ok, I've blogged about nothing long enough. Hopefully I can sleep now.
