QT: iPod shuffle & the Cult of the Mac
If they'd offered me the new iPod iShell -- hold it up to your ear, hear the ocean! Never needs batteries! -- I would have slammed down the plastic and walked out with one hanging around my neck on a rope. Look, it has settings for all the different bodies of water. Try the Mediterranean Sea's playlist on shuffle play. It totally rocks.
Okay, so I’ve refrained from mentioning Apple products for weeks on end now. I should be praised. If you know me, you may now believe in the existence of god, when before you were an atheist. It’s true! I have been known to wax poetically about the new Apple products or new products for my Apple products, to friends, family, strangers on buses, clients while they are held captive as I fix their beleaguered Window’s-based PC. But after many glass-eyed stares, and phoned in phone calls. I decided that restraint was the better part of valor.
So on, and on about my valiant effort. I’d use the term “herculean”, but I’d like you to continue reading this post. You see, today I was reading an article out of the Minneapolis’s Star Tribune, Backfence: An Apple a day, or two or three by James Lileks. It’s hilarous. After, I finished laighing out loud, especially at the, “...Look, it has settings for all different bodies of water.” I decided my friends and family deserve only minimal restraint from me. So here’s my minimalist effort. Go read, Backfence: An Apple a day, or two or three.
