...And on the eigth day God created the iPod!

My wife, a woman I clearly do not deserve, got me an iPod for Christmas. I have craved an iPod for two years but could never justify the the hefty price tag for the player. I have been spending time loading music onto this thing's nearly 10,000 song capacity hard drive and as I gaze longingly at it's crisp little lcd screen, I almost feel like shouting for joy! Don't get me wrong, I am not going to be turning into a geeky Mac user but I am not above celebrating the pure genius of the iPod.

The iPod has replaced the 20 some odd mix-tapes that I listened to at work as well as about thirty cds that I also kept at work. All of that "work" music has been replaced by a device that is no larger than an old tape case and weighs about as much as a stapler (Swingline, of course). God bless the iPod!
