I've decided that I'm going to run to Best Buy after work tomorrow. The plan? To spend part of my tax refund and buy a laptop computer. It's occurred to me that I'd really like to have one. I often like to go to places like Equal Grounds and Spot Coffee to hang out and relax. And it seems to me that it would be nice to be able to work on my writing projects, including my online projects, while relaxing at places like them.
Granted, I already often take my journals there and write by hand. But having a laptop would allow me to type things up directly. And in cases where I'm at someplace that offers a wireless Internet connection, I can even directly upload my content while I'm there.
This is a great solution to one of the problems I'm currently facing. I want to get out more often, an create opportunities for socializing. And yet, I have a number of writing projects I want to keep up with. Getting a laptop will hopefully enable me to combine the two in a creative way. And perhaps my writing in public will occasionally help generate conversation.
