One Thing Leads To More

Ya know, sometimes when you are thinking what you are doing is going to move you forward, something in that same process slides on up and let’s you know that more is needed.

For me, last week I mentioned the computer and software and stuff I bought in hopes of doing more, accomplishing more (and on and on). Well guess what… The new computer will not work with the old printer. Grrrrrrr!

So now it’s looking online for a decent printer. (maybe one of those all-in-one things which can scan, copy and print and maybe fax, not sure. So my goal for today has been looking around a little bit at printers and brands.

I am still deep down an HP kinda guy. It’s what the printer that works (well, does’t work with the new computer) is. There is the Lexmark which doesn’t seem to work with the old one. And I did have an Epson years ago… dot matrix noisy printer for it’s day, but it worked well.

So, any ideas before I go out and get one?

An Inventory Of New Stuff

I’ve been shopping way to much lately all in an effort (or is it just a thought on my part) to get more done, to be more productive, to be able to create more stuff, to be more than I have been, to help spend the bonus money from the government to help the economy.

Most of what I bought I believe has had a purpose.

• Alphasmart:  To have something inexpensive to write on at night or on the road. It’s lighter than a laptop and does what is needed for the writer type person.
• Camera:  I needed this because the last pictures I took with my older one came out pretty much out of focus. I’m taking my friend Terry’s lead because he had the same problem with his. He got a new camera and it worked as well as expected.
• Image Collection: Ok, this one I bought just because it was a nice idea. I hope to use it to put into different things, posts, booklets and the like.
• Computer: The one I have at the moment works alright to some extent… but becoming really really slow as technology changes. The new one, as well as the new internet connection, will help move things faster into the next century. (Ooops, that’s what I was saying with the last group of things I bought pre 2000).

So with all that said, I am waiting still for the burst of motivation to get things going. It’s just one of those things I suppose. It shall come in due time. Until then, I’m gonna hang out in the libraries where things are free.
