Just got a Viewsonic G Tablet. It's very cool. The worst thing about buying a new electronic gadget is waiting for the battery to charge the first time.

When I first opened my new HD camera, I immediately plugged the battery charger in, then promptly read that one cannot use the charger as a charger and an AC adaptor simultaneously.
Bonus points that the batteries take an absurd amount of time to charge, and don't like to be interrupted.

Yeah, this tablet has a 3.6 Ah battery. Nice in that it has plenty of battery for me to read on it for a long while. Bad it that it took like 5 hours to charge from nothing.
Technically, it isn't. Most devices come with a half charge (Depending on how long they've been in the box.) and Apple devices will only start to show the battery as anything other than fullish when they run below 50%. So if you time your initial discharge, it will be shorter than a fully charged cycle.

I'm usually a little too busy messing with the new gadget to bother checking how long the initial discharge takes. And I didn't say fully charged, just charged enough to set up or have a play about with. 50% is usually enough for that - and 50% battery on, say, my iPhone will still get me through the day without signifigant trouble, if any. On my iPod, 50% charge means "well, better make sure I charge that Next week."
Boo-yah: I've just finished recording the soundtrack and editing the latest version of my juggling/travel video, with footage from the past 2 years. It's uploading as we speak!
Fail: I kinda forgot to eat anything for the past 6 hours and I'm starving and I'm going to be late for juggling club.
After a fair bit of hard work over the last few weeks, I discovered I have more than enough in my savings account to buy a round trip ticket to LA! Now, I just have to save up the other few thousand to pay for things like Food, Shelter, and a multitude of sins.
Dude, I am an unemployed, broke-ass college student. That's as good as it'll get.
No, I mean I'd call a fifth of rum and a pack of smokes "Very good", since I consider it rather better than decent. I'm a bastard, but I'm not that much of a bastard.

Ah, well then. Let me know when you're headed over.
I was expecting to feel depressed after going to bed last night feeling down but this morning I woke up and I feel absolutely fabulous. I'm happy, confident and feel like I can almost shoot green lightning out of my ass.
Headache has been going strong for the last few days which is starting to have me concerned.
Fail: Owed thousands to New York State. Booh: Avoided any underpayment penalty. Yah: Made substantial profits on investment of said thousands all year.
Back in 2005 I founded the British Young Juggler of the Year show. It's one of the things I'm most proud of in my whole life, as it changed the juggling scene in the UK, and many of those who have taken part, and performed for the first time in the show, have gone on to be professional jugglers.
I wasn't there to organize or see the show in 2010. And I'm not there this year either. But I can watch live! My brother is live streaming the show right now on Juggling Live. Whoot!

Now if I can just get it to take on my tablet...
