Happiness is... eye candy
Happiness is a pretty long list for me - lots of things make me happy! My husband, my family, my dogs and quilting of course. Well, I'm just going to add one more thing is that very long list - a big hunkin' jumbotron of a computer monitor!!!! Oh my lord... I just went out and got an HP 24" monitor that is so amazingly huge and beautiful that I just had to leap to the computer and get to bloggin'.
Out the window goes my quilty post on my progress with the aforementioned "Honey Bee" pattern. This purchase definately jumped to the head of the line. It's like staring into a giant pit of gooey eye candy.
It has automatic "ambient light adjustment", which sounds awful romantic for a monitor but in my strangely lit studio it's a dream. This thing has built in speakers, pivots to portrait mode (which frankly, will I use? Who knows, but it's darn cool), and even raises and lowers to the perfect hight. For me that changes as the day goes on as I seem to shrink the longer I sit on my behind in front on the computer.
Oh, and did you know I'm a geek? A quilt geek, a computer geek and a geek of many webby graphic designy things. Yesterday, whilst reading the comic strip Rhymes with Orange, I laughed my butt off at a joke about Helvetica. Really... it was super funny, cross my heart and witches honor!

I have to wait to see the comic... I know I'm gonna laugh too. Just for the Helvetica of it... because I'm such a font whore.
I've been jonesing the Apple monitor that as big as a car (and costs about the same), but I'm still happy with my 24'' one. For now. Sigh. Congrats on your new baby!
Wow, that is so cool. We have old funky monitors, but Frankie (naturally a spoiled daughter) has a lovely 24inch monitor that looks amazing.
Font jokes! AWESOME!!
Aren't those 24" monitors amazing? I'm in love with mine. Not in love with Leopard just yet tho.
I. Am. So. Jealous.
happiness surely is a big monitor...who says size doesn't matter? (groan! the agony of bad jokes!)
