It’s nearly my birthday, and that explains why my mother-in-law lured me into a Mac Store and bought me an iPod. She is wily.

I suppose now I am more likely to set up that Aural Times podcast.

Best short-term effect: I no longer have to ferry songs to work one mp3 CD at a time; nor do I have to limit myself to a paltry few gigs of music available at music at any given time.

Now playing: “Tammy Smith” by Wesley Willis. Rest in peace, Wesley.
