RE: New Toys?
Not a musical toy, but since k mentioned his handycam....
I've become a big fan of smartphones (cell phones running Windows Mobile). Very cool little things... web surfing, email, mp3's, videos, streaming, the whole nine yards. You can load it up with memory and it could be your only portable media player. Nice screen for such a small phone too. I got the audiovox smt5600 and can't say enough good things about it. I think it's an Orange phone in euro.
I've always wanted a porn phone and now I got mine! muhahaha 'n' such.
Oh, and on the same tip, have you guys checked out
ORB.com? It's an amazing free service that allows you to stream media files (audio, video, photos, and tv) from your home desktop to any internet node for no charge. It will even detect your connection speed and re-encode the media for your pipeline... so even if you're on a crappy 56k connection like my cell phone, the media still streams properly. You can even set up a video capture card and a USB IR device on your home computer to change channels on your cable box and view your cable TV remotely over the net. It's very very cool and worth checking out if you haven't already.
