My iPod and Me

Sunday Jan 16, 2005

Newly acquired is my favorite gadget ever, my iPod. My lil' izzle Podizzle has opened my life to so many new and wonderful things. Instead of having to choose a single album to try to fight through a tough workout I now have the luxury of every song I own accompanying me down to the gym. I can start things up with the Blackeyed Peas, I can fight through the pain with Jimmy Eat World, and I can cool down with the coolest of cats, Coltrane. Well I'd have to acquire some Blackeyed Peas and Coltrane to go through the aforementioned process, but you get the point.

Also my iPod sings to me in the car making the never ending line of Los Angeles a bit more bareable. LA residents are more so now than ever finding themselves trapped behind millions of others just like them waiting for a chance to go home, or to sit at a restaurant, or to get into a movie theatre. Instead of talking outloud to myself I now have my iPod to sing me songs and tell me stories.

The final thing I love about my new friend is that it has a built in name that tune game. It will pick random samples of songs and give you five choices for the title of the song. As time ticks off the point value decreases and song titles begin to vanish. Its better than solitaire, thats for sure.

Well its time to go walk the iPod.
