iPod

I bought an iPod yesterday. Here’s a sampling of the juxtapositions I’ve gotten today:

Are you ready for the thing called love? / Don’t come from me and you / It comes from up above
“Thing Called Love,” Bonnie Raitt

So you’re on your own / Looking down the road / That goes only by one name / And you don’t need the signs / To see lonely still runs both ways.
“Borderline,” Alison Krauss + Union Station

S nami Bog, / razumeyte yazytsy, i pokaryaytesa: / yako s nami Bog. (Translation: “God is with us! Be broken, you nations, and submit yourselves, for God is with us!”)
Festal hymn from Great Compline, from Isaiah 8:9,10

   I’ve been waiting for almost 4 years to buy an iPod, and have really been leaning towards getting one now that they’ve been recently updated. As a loyal Mac user, it’s the one toy that would truly complete my life…that is until it was time to start accessorizing it. Then of course, more toys would be necessary.

   But seriously, is it everything you’d hoped? I’ve held off partly because I’m not sure I’d really use it. My hard drive has almost 20 gigs of music and photos combined, so the idea of clearing some of that off and putting it on the iPod is very attractive to me. Not to mention the potential juxtapositions I might come across.

   Ahh, Philip, I must awaken you. The images and music are not stored on the iPod, but synced to it. Thus you keep your library on your computer and as you updated it is updated on your iPod when you connect it. But I couldn’t live without mine. I bought mine last Summer two weeks before it was replaced with the 20 gig but I haven’t filled it up yet. By the time I’m ready to replace it I’ll probably syncing video to it.
   BTW Kevin Basil, it always pleases me to see my two loves married on one blog, the Mac and Orthodoxy.

   Bummer. I guess an external drive is in order if I want to recover some space on my PowerBook. Thanks for the enlightenment.

   Phil, so far, I’m diggin’ it. I listen to music mostly when I’m on the computer and when I’m driving, so the iPod was mainly to make the two more uniform (and stop wasting money on CD-Rs). It was a blast driving around and listening to Toto, Enya, the Divine Liturgy, Tori Amos, and Petra.

   Nicholas, I’m glad my blather pleases you.
