iPod
I am pretty much the last kid of the block to get an iPod, but at least I finally jumped aboard. It was an act of fortune, as one of my co-workers came into possession of a free iPod nano that she didn’t need. I was happy to purchase it from her, and for the last week have been enjoying the freedom of rocking out to my own musical selections at the gym. It was also very useful last weekend when I was learning songs for the 80s Invasion gig.
I haven’t bothered downloading any podcasts yet, but I figure it’s just a matter of time before I leverage more of the available functionality of this gizmo. Over the last year I have been slowly encoding my (largish) CD collection to MP3, so suddenly I have a new way to listen to music on the go. Some time in the next month or so, I’ll replace my car stereo with a unit capable of directly interfacting with an iPod. Roadtrips are going to be a lot more fun!
