Sep. 15th, 2006 04:40 pmMy slightly arthritic old ipod Mini has been giving me some trouble recently with the battery; I'm lucky if I can get eight hours out of it. The new, redesigned, and flat out gorgeous nano therefore has me practically drooling. It's got everything I love about my mini- namely the anodized aluminum case and lovely color- plus a liquid-crystal color screen, photo album capability, and 24-hour battery. Comes in 2GB (silver), 4GB (everything but black), and 8GB (black). I may be in love.
(I don't want a shuffle on general principal, but this is adorable. It's so teensy! And even cheaper than the old one.)
iTunes 7 gave me a nasty start for a moment when, on first use, it started to vibrate all my songs in a truly freakish fashion. I closed the window, calmly had a complete panic attack and near nervous breakdown, re-opened the window, and everything played and worked just fine. Gah.
My weekend is almost entirely free. I believe I shall hang out at the local Renfest, watch some Supernatural and Stargate and SGA, as well as read some Terry Pratchett.
Finished 1984, by the way, and the ending was every bit as subtly disturbing as I'd expected. All in all worth reading. Oh, and was the end of Good Omens actually probably a reference to O'Brian's "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face- forever," line, or am I crazy? I'm pretty sure it is, which made me feel all smart and literary-like. Of course, before I noticed that, I noticed the similarities between the "2+2=5" torture scene and the one in that one ST:TNG episode, so maybe literary's not the right word. Try "geeky."
