I love technology. It's probably the nerd in me, but I just get giddy over some new slick technology or gadget. Recently, I've been able to experience some cool technology that just makes me giggle like a school girl. I know this isn't new, but we recently joined Netflix. I set it up to play through our Wii system wirelessly. I was pleasantly surprised to see how clear the picture was. Also, it loads quickly and I've never experienced any lags or uploading hiccups. It's pretty slick. So, for $9.99 a month, we get unlimited DVD's mailed to our house (one at a time) and unlimited "watch instantly" on our Wii or any computer. It's been cool watching previous seasons of "Psych" (one of our new favorite shows). Plus, I can finally watch Season 2 of "Pushing Daisies" which I missed because we lived in a house with no TV for a year. The boys are enjoying watching movies and we don't even have to wait for the Redbox to get something good. We find it, we watch it. Instantly. It's seriously cool.
I'm not sure this counts as technology, but it fits nicely into innovation, which also makes me giddy. I've had some dental work done a couple of weeks ago and again today. I had some cracks in my old metal fillings that needed to be replaced. Our dentist only uses the new white fillings that match your teeth. It's freaking awesome. Now, when I open my mouth it doesn't look like I've been chewing on tin foil. The fillings are barely noticeable and didn't take very long to get. Plus, the process was fairly painless. It's not like it was a few years ago where it felt like they were drilling into my jawbone. Other than the sound of scraping and drilling, there really wasn't any pain. Afterward, there is some discomfort and some sensitivity, but that goes away within a couple of days. I like my new white fillings. Innovation is cool.
Also, I am enjoying exploring my new Windows 7 laptop and finding new bells and whistles. I love the cool gadgets that you can run and the new features of Windows 7 and Office 10. Pretty amazing. Every morning when I power up my laptop, it's like I get to explore a whole new world of awesomeness. Plus, it's blazing fast...which rocks!
I am definitely a man who loves me some electronic gadgets. New technology and innovation makes me go gaga. I can't get enough. Bring it on, future!

Hello Chris. did you also know that since you are an amazon prime member you also get to stream movies and tv shows from Amazon?
the selection is not as good as netfilx but its a good start. the only thing thats not so cool is that you cant watch it through your Wii.
