All out gadget apocalypse if you don’t update your DST
by MattAm I going to update the time on all my tech gear tonight? No way, I live on the edge. I'm hoping to wake up and see a mega tech gadget war happening in my living room. Similar to "Mad Max". Basically a small tech gadget apocalypse. I don't know if it will be an all out, battle-royale, or an organized team-deathmatch, but either way, should be exciting!
I'm sure some gadgets are against war (IPOD) but you never know when the $#&@^ hits the fan.
All the tech in my house:
Camcorder, Digital camera, IPOD, Treo 650, Blackjack, XBOX 360, Gateway laptop, Sony Viao, Comcast Cable box, DVD Player, Video game switch, Cable modem, a tribe of wireless routers (3), USB voice recorders, RIO MP3 player, a couple alarm clocks and radios.
There are about 5 remotes controls for various hardware in the living room. These will probably be used as weapons.
My flatscreen TV will most likely be the center point of the battle, displaying messages from the supreme being.
I know what you're thinking, "Matt, What about the kitchen appliances?" Don't worry, I have thought of them. I'm assuming they will play dumb, until the major fighting is over, and then jump in. It's an old school tactic, but very effective. They don't call kitchen appliances "The Roaches of technology" for nothing.
Oh man, this is what you blog about before you have a chance to drink some coffee. This all started from an email I got from Palm to update my Treo 650.
