The iPod Touch

A few weeks ago I finally got around to picking up one of the new iPod Touch units. I had an earlier iPod, the red and black U2 edition that came out in 2004. This one, however, is a big leap forward. It is a virtual portable home entertainment unit. What a great little device! I am able to download and catch up with the podcasts I listen to like G. Gordon Liddy's show and Joe Rogan's show and even watch tv shows like American Horror Story and Ice Road Truckers. I've downloaded books onto the unit and was able to read free ebooks on publishing and the writings of Confucius. All that and having more than 4000 songs!

Colds and Flus going around

I don't get sick very often. Someone I once knew gave me the useful advice to take a shot of rum straight when I feel those beginning sensations of getting sick. For the most part, that solution has worked well. Last week, I started feeling sick during the day at work and had no access to rum until I got home and by then the sickness was well-entrenched. That one was a rough one and knocked me out for the most part. I've shaken off the actual sickness but am now contending with a case of laryngitis and have no voice. It's been weird going around the last week with no voice, having to whisper. Oh well, it seems to be a rough season!
