iPod
"Hard driving isn't anything like a
jackhammer"
God you gotta love the iPod. I mean, it has put
hero #3b back on the charts in a big way and given endless pleasure in the most
local of ways. Honourable mentions to the iPod use in the making of the Lord of
the Rings (TT)...they took all the dailies over sneakernet on an iPod in post
production. Then you have Robyn Hitchcock mentioning iPods in the show a few
days ago. How many heroes can you fit into one
episode?
My favourite thing (hoping it lands in America) has to be the iPod bus. They have these large monochromatic busses that drive around "ice cream man" style. If the iPod bus drives up to your street, you bring your iPod out and plug it in for some free tunes. It is a promotion to push the devices in Taiwan (I think) but it's make one hell of an ongoing buzz creator. Can you imagine if there were just these magic busses driving around giving out properly licensed tunes like that? I mean, lame FM stations still do the "flash your tits" Monday...why can't our world have some nice oddities in it?
Hey, 'member that time when I pre-ordered the iPod and no one knew what the hell it was gonna be? 'Member how I cut out the lame little piece of foamcore and carried it around and went on and on about how much it would hold and transfer times and all that lame stuff? 'Member how we all agreed that being a successful early adopter ONCE doesn't make you cool. Oh yeah. I forgot.
