If you’d rather be in your den shooting things, typing to robots or scouring for the latest in liquid crystal display t-shirts on a sunny sunday afternoon you might just want a little perspective. As with any indulgence, it’s all fine in moderation.

“Technological addictions are operationally defined as non-chemical, behavioural addictions that involve human-machine interaction. They can be either passive (e.g. television) or active (e.g. the computer) and usually contain inducing and reinforcing features, which may contribute to the promotion of addictive tendencies.”

“][MEZ][ _[net]blog to log][ah!rhythm][_, 2006 - http://www.livejournal.com/users/netwurker/ ][Mez][ presents her blog as “a reverse-engineered weblog - read: _bio_log_ as opposed to a standardized weblog”. In order to read it, you’ll need the “mezangelle”, which is the polysemic idiom that ][mez][ employs by adjusting her natural language into a hybrid form through remixing code. She began this process with e-mail art in the early 90s."

Im getting one of these. Totally viable alternative to the growing popularity of the USB key, this takes it a step further and fully eliminates the need for an extra ‘gadget’ to clutter your bag/pocket/breifcase. And the watch itself looks pretty spif.
1GB of storage space, USB 2. More specs here.
