Nothing new for Palmnet really. I've almost done all the updates for the new system and plan to roll them out sometime in the coming weeks.
On a lighter note, I was 18 on Thursday, June the 21st, also the day of my last ever exam, woo!
Thus I have some interesting* news for you. (*May not be interesting at all)

I got a new MP3 player, which is like pr0n for all the gadget geeks who might read this.
A 30GB Creative Zen Vision:M is now what fills my pocket since the demise of the Sansa. I was going to buy another Sansa but Phil got himself one and I could hardly have a matching MP3 player, so the creative was the other choice for me.
And I'm glad I took it!
This MP3 player kicks some serious ass. It's screen is better than most full size HD monitors I've seen, the sound is awesome and the controls and general usage aspects are great. So far only crashed it once, and that was just after a firmware update, so not half as bad as the Sansa!

For my new Creative Zen I needed some swanky ear buds as my old ones were beginning to show their age (About 3 years old now).
I've always wanted some Skullcandy ones because the name sounds so cool, so I went to the only shop that sells them in my town, the Orange shop, and got me a pair of the "Smokin' Buds", they don't sound quite so good as the £50 Sony ones I had, but they're still mighty good.

On a less techy note, now I'm 18 I can legally buy fireworks.
Unfortunately the firework shop in town went out of business, shockingly nobody wants lots of fireworks in mid June.
So instead we got some sparklers. Not quite as manly but still needed to be 18, no footage of the sparkling action though, but there's the lighter we used to try and make up for it.

I also got reminded of yo-yo'ing back in the 90's, and how I hadn't done it for so long, so I went out and got myself a yo-yo.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the cheap tacky ones I used to have as a little kid so I ended up spending £7 on a pro yo-yo. Hardly the most expensive, but still a bit advanced for me.
Got it to sleep now, and rocking the cradle is easy, must learn some new tricks over the summer though and end up a yo-yo pro!
