In the past few days, my physical belongings have been self-destructing at an alarming pace. The right earbud on my Shure E4c’s stopped playing. The screen on my Treo 600 suddenly developed rainbow stripes, and ceased responding to touch. And then, this morning, with an alarming thud, the keyboard drawer fell clean off of my desk.

Which, in short, has left me more than a bit paranoid: avoiding walking under light fixture or sitting too close to my heavy bookshelf. I may not have a clue what’s about to come down next, but I’ll be damned if it takes me with it.
