The other important development in my recent life is that the iPod I have been using went completely kaput. And so I was thinking that I'll go against my central tendencies and actually BUY A PIECE OF TECHNOLOGICAL GADGETRY FOR MYSELF. Something I have not done in years. Think about it. I have never bought myself an iPod or a cell phone. I guess I did buy myself a laptop in the summer. But that is a cinquennial sort of thing. I also bought myself a digital camera at some point (3 years ago?). Anyway my main point is that the new iPod shuffle (the only model that makes sense for me, given that I only ever listen to podcasts and I am unwilling to spend money on functions I don't use, like a colour screen) is TOTALLY USELESS FOR ME!! Can You guess why? No, You can't. The reason it is useless is that the controls are all in the headphone cord. And those iPod earbuds fall out of my ears!! I can't wear them! How do people run in those things? I don't understand it.
So anyway I'm looking for a 2nd gen iPod nano on ebay.
Great story, huh?

Update: J lent me his rarely-used iPod. Check this space for future reports on how it breaks.
ReplyDeleteUpdate 2: I bought an iPod nano 2nd gen off craigslist. Had to go down to Borough Park to get it. Enjoyed it for a day before I dropped it between a booth seat and a wall at a bar in midtown. Went back the day after to get it, they were closed. Today, they were closed. Will try tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteUpdate 3: used iPod never recovered. As a birthday gift to O, I loaded up her iPod with music. Then decided to buy myself the same iPod. As a gesture of unity.
