My T-Mobile CellSpot router arrived today! It replaces my Netgear N600 that I recently put DD-WRT firmware on since the Netgear firmware operated inconsistently (I had to restart the router every other day). The T-Mobile router is basically the ASUS RT-AC68U with some QoS software for Wi-Fi calling and messaging; and it's capable of 802.11ac! It's a pretty good looking router as well!

I'm sort of obsessed with new gadgets. It's become an obsession but it's not a personal obsession to own it myself; I am a simple guy living a simple life. But I get excited about new devices even if it's someone else getting. Usually I'm even more thrilled than the recipient. I love hearing their reasoning in their purchase and how they see it affecting their lives. Then, if I know little known tips/features about the product, I like to mention them. But the best feeling is knowing that they will be experiencing the exhilaration of a new gadget! The excitement is so contagious! Just the other day, I was so excited to see Hearthstone get his iPhone 6.

Hopefully my enthusiasm adds to their joy in getting their new device. At the same time, I hope I don't hype it to the point they become disappointed. Well, look at that, that's my resolution for the year: Enthusiasm and proper expectations.

While I really enjoy seeing others get new toys, I can't wait to get a new phone of my own in the near future.
