Technology is Wierd

My new Ipod, the 80-gig classic, failed on me. Fortunately, it was within the valid return period at Target. I traded it back in for a new gen-2 Ipod Touch. It didn't cost me anything extra to trade for it, and it has more or less become the most indescribably useful thing I own in the course of a week. I read all my news on it. I read Instapundit on it. I've sent emails, schedules, and contrived a very elaborate alarm system for myself with it.

It plays music too. 8 gig is enough to hold my entire library and have plenty of space left over.

It's like a tiny little CIA guy that knows everything, can find anything, and doesn't mind singing a song occasionally.

TV hasn't even been around for a hundred years. Just imagine what we'll be able to pull off in twenty years.
