More iPod Musings

Friday, September 26th, 2008

OK, so folks are probably tired of me going on and on about my iPod. Interestingly enough, I was conversing with a colleague about how much space is really needed on an iPod, and also how many songs does the typical person listen to during a typical commute?
My all time high to date is 27 commuting from home to a client.
How many songs do you normally listen to on a commute?

What Happened to “What I’m Reading”

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

You can now look for the delicious bookmarks on the left hand side to see what I’m reading. Of course you can also visit my del.icio.us page as well. I figured that well, I should practice what I preach and not resort to stuff automatically being done for me. It was nice while it lasted.

Rediscovering Podcasts

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Podcast Icon
I know I am guilty as charged. Not writing as much because everyone is back to work and school (myself included). In the meantime, the novetly of the iPod is starting to settle in. In the meantime I have discovered the joy of listening to podcasts while in transit.

Here are a couple that are in my iPod now:

Especially going to “work” I feel that its no longer downtime, but productive time.

Finally took the plunge.. and got an iPod

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

It all happened so quickly.  You’re probably expecting me to say that I got the new iPod nano, but nope, not the case (even though I have a soft spot for the color purple. I actually saw the original iPod that I wanted, but since they discontinued it at the time, the options for obtaining the one that I wanted were limited.

Then a couple of weeks ago the 30GB ipod was on Woot! for a great price. I have been debating which one to get for a while. Granted it is refurbished, it is good enough for me to cave in and replace the 30gb Creative Player I have, that is on its last leg.

Living in a Hostel Environment

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

My friends asked me what it was like to stay in a hostel for a few days while I was in Chicago for the Creative Freelancers Conference.

Let’s just say it wasn’t as bad as the guy in the AT&T commmerical.

I will say that all I did was sleep there. I didn’t make any friends, not that I was expecting to. It would of been nice. This was my third time to Chicago, so I knew where I was going and also have longtime friends in Chicago.

If I had to sum it up, staying in a hostel is better suited for a group of younger people traveling in a group. It can be difficult if you are alone or not in the prime demographic.

Has anyone stayed in a hostel? Please let me know via the comments

Recommended Reading - Creative Freelancer Conference

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

I recently came back from the Creative Freelancer Conference in Chicago. Since it is still the season for Recommended Reading list, I thought I would compile a list of books mentioned during the conference.

Wasn’t able to make the conference? The festivities still continue online on FaceBook and Ning.
