Tech Time: I am going to make this my last "I Love iPod" post for a while, but what a difference that it has made. I just completed a great MP3 audiobook - 10 hours unabridged. Makes that daily commute so tolerable. In the office I listen to podcasts in the morning until Susan (my admin) comes in, then I switch to Christmas music. I hit the podcasts during lunch and on the way home. I had a blast today when a podcast that I had downloaded "The Super Secret Apple Rumors Podcast" was hosted by Apple's Steve Jobs. What a great communicator. Wish I owned an Apple (in addition to the iPod). They really have some innovative things coming. (for those who care, the podcast was from 9/13, I just got around to listen to it from Engadget.com)
I got "Stranger Than Fiction" on the iPod this afternoon. The quality is great. I tried to look at it on the laptop screen and it was terrible. Oh well, something to watch tonight in bed. Working on a couple of others of my favorite movies right now. I have 20% to go to get the complete Matrix collection and I am also working on my favorite family movie - The Godfather. The title indicates that it might be in Italian, so I might just rip my own tonight.
Sad to hear that James Kim died yesterday. I have really enjoyed watching his vidcast from CNET. I really, really hope that they continue with these great vidcasts with another host.
I remember that when my bro-in-law told me that he first got his 60GB iPod that he didn't think that he would ever fill it up, and now he has something like 60% full. I am thinking that I might push for a birthday present and get the 80GB. But (if my beloved is reading this), I will hold out for the new version that is being rumored that will have a widescreen like the Zune.
RANT: If you are going to go through the trouble to put up a podcast, and take the time to have a great intro, don't tell me about your kids, don't yawn while you are reading, and if you cough edit that out (Speaking directly to Digital Experience). The guy who does this does 50% of it better than anyone else, but does so much else so poorly that I have dropped it off my list. Yuck. Was just listening and his phone rings - he doesn't edit that out either. Geesh, there are so many great programs out there.
