0xfeedface Tech musings and rants

The Nexus One launched today. Around a year ago, I decided I wouldn't buy anything over $400 (except for stuff like essential car repairs) until my car loan was fully paid off. At the current rate I'm paying off my car (around $800/month (no, that is definitely NOT the minimum payment)), I should finish paying my car off in five weeks. I've decided to bump that $800/month up to $1500/month and pay it off in three weeks. In order to do that, I will have to work eight hours of overtime per week. At the end of the three weeks, I should have not only my car paid off, but also enough money in savings (specifically, in the "fun" category) to buy a Nexus One. Meaning, in three weeks, I will be out of debt AND holding a new, expensive toy in my hand in celebration. I'm totally stoked!
