New Gadget

I am really not a big gadget guy. They are of a particularly impermanent nature, and the purchase of one gadget begets the inevitable purchase of accessories and more gadgets.


Indeed, until recently I was using a walkman (yes, the one that plays tapes) at the gym. After a discman went kaput, and in light of the fact that I have dozens of tapes, the walkman has served me very well.


However, I wanted to try an ipod device for gym or running purposes (not for storage of my entire music collection), and picked up an ipod shuffle. It's actually really cool and, for 2 runs outside and 1 session of lifting weights, has worked out great so far. The coolest thing is its size, which is roughly that of a wheat thin cracker.
