BAAAAAAA! BAAAAAAAAA!

Yes folks, I am a sheep. I follow the herd. I get on here and bitch and moan, but in the end, I succomb to the lure of shiny objects. Moving pictures, horseless carriages, talkies, rock & roll...I never thought they would catch on, but look at me now, tooling around in my Chevy Prism, listening to Rush as I go to rent a DVD.

Seriously...for a long time I insisted I'd never get a cell phone. Then (at the time) the only company that provided landline service pissed me off. Fine, I get a cell phone. I bitch about how people walk around like ipod drones with headphones in their ears, oblivious to the rest of the world, retarding their social skills...

...I got an ipod.

As I started to get ready to produce the podcast, I need to figure out how to play music on the show. Using my desktop ended up being too awkward. Running a boom box through the mixer sounded lousy. So I figured I'd get an ipod - I also needed something to use at the gym...the old walkman just wasn't cutting it anymore. It was a bit awkward on the first podcast this past week. Being the old person I am, I didn't quite have a grip on the technology yet - I have to actually practice using it - but to be fair, I'm not just playing any music. I have songs to play in a certain order, with breaks and adjusting volume levels. But I'll get it. And I have to admit...I used the thing at the gym today for the first time...it was pretty cool.

But I swear...all of you have permission to run me over if I ever buy an iphone.
