Because the world needs more pictures of Theo
When I clicked "buy" to send off a chunk of money in trade for a new laptop, I justified it by telling myself I am a programmer and my five-year-old laptop is slow and outdated. I need a new laptop, I thought. Professional pride demands it.

It's too soon to tell exactly how I will end up using the new machine, since I just got it on Friday. I was sick on Saturday, so I spent the day watching TV shows on Hulu. I can't say my old laptop didn't handle that with aplomb. However, one thing it didn't have was an integrated camera, with which I can take photos of my cat, who tends to be on my lap when I compute. His head is currently on my wrist, bobbing up and down as I reach for keys that cause my right hand to shift. Obviously, the thing that has been lacking in my life was enough ways to take pictures of my cat. Goodbye buyer's remorse, hello Theo cam.
