                                 “Beam me up!”
                                        
The new job [1] requires a cell phone, since I'm basically babysitting a
bunch of machines (and they're willing to pay me extra to have a cell phone,
otherwise I wouldn't get one). The phone finally arrived—a Cingular LG G4010
[2], a small clam shell unit that is similar to the ST:TOS (Star Trek: The
Original Series) communicators and everytime I open it up, I have this
incredible urge to go, “Kirk to Enterprise!”
