Remember me?

October 8th, 2008

I just started to log into the WordPress main page, and thought it very apropos that it should ask “Remember Me?” It’s been a while since the last post – I mean, here we are eight days into October and I have yet to post. I guess I haven’t felt very motivated to do so lately. Not that there aren’t important, weighty things to talk about, but I’m not the place you go if you’re looking for eloquent statements on the economy, politics, or anything else that’s happening in the world. No… you come to me for fluff.

So… who out there uses iTunes? *raises hand high* I’m a big fan – granted, I haven’t really tried any other music services, but I like the way they catalog my music and don’t see any reason to even try anything else. And now that they’ve come up with this Genius thing – which is, by the way, pure genius – I doubt I’d even look at anything else. I LOVE that I can select a song in my library, click a button, and it automatically pops up a list of other songs in my library that go great with the song I selected. I LOVE that it puts suggestions for similar artists and songs in the sidebar – in order to find new artists in the past that I might like based on my taste in music I’ve relied on Amazon.com, but that’s just not very efficient. Now it’s all in one place – found a song I like that’s similar to songs I already have? Just click the “buy” button and voila! It’s mine. I HEART IT SO MUCH.

Oh, and I bit the bullet and added to my iPod family. The 3rd gen iPod classic I have is kind of clunky and cumbersome to carry around when mowing or exercising, so I picked up a 1GB shuffle, in the new bright green. I planned to take it for its inaugural turn around the lawn lastnight, but it rained yesterday so I won’t be able to mow until Saturday. Maybe.

    Ah, they found their consumer! I have no iPod, though I have iTunes. I rarely use it, but that’s the only music system I use, I guess. I’m still queueing up old Napster grabs and I’ve maybe bought ten songs since then. Eh, no time to think about music I guess.
