How do you combine simple living with a love of technology? My dh would have a computer in the bathroom, I think, if I would let him. Computers, i-pods, lap-tops... on and on and on. I think we are going to have to establish a legal limit for techno gadgets at my house.

Anyone have any strategies to share?

I love gadgets too. I just wish they weren't so expensive! Have you seen the new Amazon Kindle? I want one! (when the prices come down, of course) This could greatly simplify your bookshelf!

I love how my iPod has simplified music. I haven't bought a CD since I got mine! No more cases or CDs to mess around with.

I walk a fine line with gadgets. I love my laptop but I don't need a phone with a camera, iPod, P.A. or whatever else they have. I'm pretty happy with just a phone. I also don't like my gadgets to be smarter than me! We saw a tool box yesterday eith a computer in it!
