i'm sad the casio w213 is being discontinued
The Casio W213 at the time I write this is still available, but not for long because it appears it's being discontinued in the North American market.
I'm dating myself here, but the first video game consoles I ever played were the Atari 2600 and Intellivision. I also played games on the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64. After that came the Nintendo Entertainment System, and I was more or less the exact age Nintendo was targeting when that system was released. I also had a Sega Master System at one point, then some years later the Nintendo 64. After that, some PC games. Then a few years after that, the very last game console I ever bought, the Nintendo Wii.
And then that was it. I stopped playing video games completely. Well, almost completely. I do play KMahJongg on Linux:
Every year during the fall season, all the Halloween stuff gets put out for sale in the grocery and department stores. The vast majority of what's sold is crap, except for the candy because it tastes better. I explain why that is here.
The other thing that's worth buying are highfalutin candles, if you get the right kind.
On my wrist as I write this is my trusty Casio WS1600H. I wear it because it has almost every feature I want out of watch. The one thing it's missing is multiple alarms. But it has the countdown timer with auto-repeat (I use that often), great legibility, and is light in weight.
But if I want all the stuff, choices are darned few.
Email. As in messaging on the internet that predates the web browser itself. Before there was browsing, there was messaging. Why? Because it's just text, and that's the smallest, simplest data you can transfer.
I use email to organize my life, so I get all sorts of super nerdy when it comes to using it exactly the way I want. Very recently, I just did a major switch in how I use it.
