iPod shuffle
(Apple.com)
-
Time to mix things up. Meet iPod shuffle.I don't want my blog to seem like an Apple ad ... trust me, I have plenty of problems with Apple, and I'm not a so-called "zealot" -- I just prefer to use equipment that makes me more productive, creative and/or is more fun to actually use. I admit that I'm not very good at creating my own music, so I buy it from so-called professionals, and I need a device that can help me enjoy the creative product of other people. Now the reason I just ordered an iPod shuffle is simple, and it boils down to one word: time. With the iPod, the idea of having 5,000 songs in my pocket never really appealed to me. First of all, are there really 5,000 songs in the world that I muhf*ckin' care about -- apologies to all the Juillard readers out there, who must think I'm some kind of music-deprived person because I can't rip 5,000 songs from my record collection? In my world, books get a much, much higher priority than music. Secondly, even if there really were that many songs that I wanted to hear, when would I find the time to burn, playlist, and finally, listen to 5,000 songs ... in this lifetime? It turns out that in, say, the course of a month, there's probably more like 100-150 songs that I might want to hear at any particular time. For this, a tiny-little device like the shuffle seems perfect. And this device seems tailor-made for blogging's next frontier: podcasting. Stay tuned.
