All-In-One Integrated Devices Suck Ass

[ehowton]

I don't want to watch live television from my cell phone.
I don't want to play games on my mp3 player.
I don't want to download songs on my blackberry.
I don't want to take pictures with any of the above devices.
I like wearing a watch.

I guess I'm just old fashioned.

Agreed.

When photogoot and I had the Tower of Power people would come over to watch a movie with us, or whatnot, and often comment to me, "You have too many remotes."

*sigh*

I looked at them as if they were retarded and often explained that we had exactly as many remotes as we needed. We didn't have extra remotes laying around unused. Each remote served a different and unique purpose.

Often I feel I'm alone in this world.

As long as you have photogoot you'll never be alone in this world!!!

They do make a nice couple don't they!!!!

ehowton/photogoot are my new favourite LJ OTP. :)

[ehowton.livejournal.com]

Am I Anakin or Obi-Wan?

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

Hmm. You're definitely the Obi-Wan side of the OTP. I can so see you dispensing pertinent, um, advice to your padawan. In robes. Although I think a green lightsabre would suit you better. *nodnod*

Oh, I can handle my lightsaber quite well thank you.

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

You know, somehow I have absolutely no doubt about that. ;)

You guys are so cute together. Particularly the big red flowers on your shirt and the matching grins. *teehee*

[photogoot.livejournal.com]

ehowtons daughter is particularly fond of my red flower shirt.

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

Obviously a young lady of taste and discernment!

[photogoot.livejournal.com]

Don't worry she will wise up when she's older. :-)

[photogoot.livejournal.com]

We are grinning because we are not wearing pants!

[melancthe.livejournal.com]

*chortle*

I think I just swooned a little. ;)

Eye candy for chubby chasers!

I am embarrassed to admit I had to Google OTP. I believe you did not mean OTP to be Open Telecom Platform; standard open-source libraries and tools for Erlang

therefore I believe you meant OTP One True Pairing -- usually used to denote a fanatical devotion to one pairing in a fandom, excluding all others; a fandom abbreviation referring to one's favorite fictional couple.

I wish I were more hip to the slang... I always seem to need to look these things up.

If you want to go back and visit your "knobs" and "doohickey" discussion, you'll be going alone. That being said, nine remotes to control a single device is indeed having TOO MANY!

As a person who also hates multi-function devices I agree that turning 9 unrelated devices into one is stupid, but it is only HALF as stupid as splitting one device into multiple devices.

Anyone who has lived through the following can testify to that.

Hey, hand me that remote... no, not that one... no, not that one -- THAT one! ... no, not that one... No, not that -- ah, nevermind -- I'll grab it myself!

Often I feel I'm alone in this world.
And we often feel as if it's a shame that you aren't! Like say when you forget to use an LJ-Cut on a 70,000 word post for instance. *rolls eyes*
