I upgraded from a 2G phone to a 4G smartphone. I am happy with it and have found it useful so far (using soundhound to find the names of songs on the radio, using the barcode scanner in stores, field trip to find interesting things around town, etc). ---

Just like you a RC helicopter, too much fun. Learning to use the controls is very time consuming. Great fun, and it worries the cat. Before that a motorized squirt gun, for the neighbors cat who thinks is OK to leave paw prints on my car, couple of squirts and he hasn’t been back. ---

> [@DocCathode](#): > > The last toy I bought for myself was [this.](http://service.mattel.com/us/product_detail.asp?id=R4571) It makes bubbling, slurping noises. It rolls around on its tentacles. It was 99 cents at Goodwill. I love Goodwill. “…but, shit - it was .99 cents!” 🆒 That might be the most awesome thing I’ve seen yet. Wish my mom and her partner were still around to do my Thrift Shop personal shopping for me. ☹ My newest toy is a Clam Case for my iPad. Hoping it’s as excellent as described, should see it in a few weeks. ---

I obviously take my hobbies way too seriously, because most of the things people have listed don’t really strike me as toys… I honestly can’t remember the last time I bought myself something I would consider a toy. Gotta work on that, I guess. ---
