I love the internet

[rhyll]

After spending a morning, a couple of days ago, calling around computer shops and tech support lines and toshiba parts places trying to find a new adapter, I ended up buying it online. Felt a bit nervous about it, since this is a new problem for me and I wanted to double-check with a person that I was getting the right bit. But five minutes on the website + not-too-much-money + about a day (it arrived yesterday, but I didn't get home in time to pick it up) = fully functioning laptop.

I am also excited about:
* lecturing this year,
* my first article is now published,
* breakfast!
