I picked Kindle DX over Strida 5.0 (1 year ago)

Had an upcoming plane trip, so went with the Kindle; useful both on the plane and for carrying things like the stanford campus map without having to find a printer, and oh yeah it's good for books :-)

I decided to do Something else rather than Get a cheap point-and-shoot to use until I figure out exactly what I want or Do some serious research, save up, and get something more expensive (SLR, different lenses, etc) (1 year ago)

I ended up with a Canon G10, which is like a small SLR without the big shiny lens or, well, actual single lens reflex. Its glass is still quite respectable, and all the tweaks than an SLR has (manual focus, shutter and aperture priority, etc) are there. It's a bit bigger than a "normal" point and click, but not too big to carry. I'm a fan.

I picked PennState::Foo:: or Penn::State::Foo:: or something along those lines over PSU::Foo (1 year ago)

I decided to do Something else rather than Make a sandwich and eat it... or Finish my scotch and go to bed... (1 year ago)

Mmmmm! Ice cream!!!

I picked kill zombies over take a nap (1 year ago)

I decided to do Something else rather than try to see more family (who I saw last time I was there) or try to see more friends (who are the only reason I stay sane) (2 years ago)

my flight got canceled and I was there for 4 extra days and got to see everybody :D

I decided to do Something else rather than Green racer snake (http://www.snakespecies.info/Philodryas-aestiva-1.jpg) or Black racer snake (http://www.kentuckysnakes.org/snakes/blackracer-full.jpg) (2 years ago)

Adopted my grad advisor's ball python instead! She is brown and black and patchy and beautiful.
