And I don’t know about you, but I love traveling. So grab your bags and don’t bother making a mix tape for the ride, because all the music you need is right here. Read More »

I Hear It All: Life Without an MP3 Player

Yes, it’s true, I don’t have an mp3 player. This is not really by choice, I must admit—my iPod broke a couple months ago and the so-called “Geniuses” at my local Apple store told me that the cost of fixing it would be (shockingly) the same as buying a new one. It really bothers me that Apple’s products (and most gadgets these days) are basically designed to break after about a year, thus forcing you to buy a new one, so I simply refused. I went iPod-less.

I love reading, so I figured my morning commutes would be fine. Think of all the books I could get through! I might finally plow through that stack of New Yorkers under my bed! As for walking around, I’d be better off—less likely to get hit by a bus while crossing the street and not paying attention, less likely to get targeted for mugging, less likely to run into a glass door (yes, this has actually happened to me).

Who am I kidding? Read More »

iPod has a Sexy New Brother

Anyone who is either:

A) Obsessed with Apple products

B) A total nerd

C) Bored at work, or

D) Unable to avoid people who are A, B or C

has heard the news from Apple land.

Yes, my friends, it is time to toss that Generation 4 iPod (now named the iPod Classic) because there is a new boy in town and he is much sexier than his older brother.

The new iPod is here and it is deeeeeeeelicious. Forget the antiquated old click wheel. This bad boy is all touch screen, just like his cousin, iPhone. He also boasts wireless internet where you can browse the web, watch YouTube videos and – brace yourselves – download new songs directly to your iPod.

No, Generation Instant Gratification, there is no need to wait until you get home to DL that hot new Timbaland song (because you know there will be a new one on the radio by the time you get home, anyway); just load the iPod internet browser and get it now. Like, right now.
