Bluetooth Headsets

I've finally got one. Now I can be like all those people I see walking around, looking like wannabe cyborgs. Or--if you don't see the headset--looking like people having full-blown conversations with themselves in public. I remember the first time I saw someone talking to midair with such earnestness . . . I really thought they were off their rocker.



That said, now that I've used mine a bit, I wonder why in the world it took me this long to get one. I'm on the phone a fair bit. I can be a pretty chatty person, and I like to do things while I talk. Up until now, I've just had to do things with the phone hunched into my shoulder. Being able to talk without doing that is a huge plus. I even carried wood in yesterday while I was on the phone. Very liberating.



Anyway. This is just a plug for bluetooth headsets. If you're like me and have been leery of getting one, can I just calm your fears and give you a gentle nudge? Setup was straightforward and simple. It's not uncomfortable to have one on (certainly more comfortable than walking around with a hunched shoulder), and the sound quality is great. I don't even have that high-end a model. Mine was about $35, I think.



And on the plus side, now I can go to Star Trek conventions and don't even need to buy a costume. :-)
