Yay on VAWA~ Yay for ita !'s innate impressiveness being recognized!

And yay for me, finally figuring out how to turn off the little tracking nubby thing (which is actually called a "pointing stick", wtf).

So how is a tablet with a detachable keyboard that I never take off different from/better than a laptop/netbook? Serious question; I have two tablets, that I never use, and I've never gotten keyboards for them, because I never use them. But if they had keyboards, I might use them.

Yay VAWA.

I just realized why I've been eating fewer avocados since I moved here -- I no longer have a fruit stand where I know the guy keeps perfect avocados under the counter, and I'm a terrible planner.

For me it would be that I can fold the keyboard away and just use it as a tablet if I plan to read a book or watch some Netflix or just web surf non-interactive sites like NYTimes or something. And only whip out the keyboard here or DW or FB or whatever

The big difference between a tablet with a detachable (but always attached) keyboard is that it runs iOS or Android, so lightweight and optimised for mobile, that it's small and likely gives up some connectivity options like wired ethernet and any drives, and is therefore lighter than any laptop and many netbooks, and that it has a touchscreen, which your laptop probably doesn't have, which sometimes is exactly how I want to navigate the world (and sometimes not). Battery life depends on your hardware--the Asus Transformer is nutso excellent. I've run out of juice once.

The apps are different, what it's optimised for is different--it doesn't replace a laptop, but some of the things you were doing with your laptop you can as simply do with that. And if you want to toss your laptop in your handbag, you probably can't.

Okay, I've got to go back for my second meeting of the day with impressed director--and it's not my last.

Where is my tea???

I've started buying TJ's bag of 4 avocados, leaving them on the counter until they are just ripe, and then putting them in the fridge. It has worked shockingly well

Yeah, I do this with Costco avocados too.

Now I want guacamole.

I want the avocado CSA.

Was this where the introvert/extrovert conversation was? I'm in turtle mode a lot lately, so I didn't post. I don't know what you call someone who is comfortable chatting with strangers she doesn't care about but clams up around people she does... Sox, most likely.

I want a strawberry shake. Which I have. Yay me!

One of our sales reps brought us bite-size cupcakes from Baked By Melissa. Since I had a salad for lunch I feel pretty good about eating 4 of them.
