About a month ago I finally broke down and bought an iPod. My old 2.5gb Rio took its final, fatal, plunge into piece of shithood and died. The 30gb iPod which I bought on a Friday died on Sunday; possibly the victim of too much received kinetic trauma received while I was sledding after one of my daughter's hockey games. To be fair, I broke the middle finger on my left hand and have been off work for a month now so maybe the iPod's failure wasn't entirely lame. Anyway the replacement has worked wonderfully since and I haven't returned to the sledding slopes so it should stay that way.
It works well and everything, but I'm not sure what the big deal is. A Mac True Believer® I work with actually said things like "This has changed my life" when speaking of his iPod. Again, its nice but not epiphany nice. The intellectual class in America has abandoned religion for the most part it seems, but voids must be filled. Some with celebrity-friendly global warming orthodoxy, some with alternative celebrity-friendly religions, some with nihilism and schadenfreude, and others with love of their Apple products. Whatever it takes to get through the day I guess.
