President’s day weekend and its too cold to really do much outside, temps got down to almost zero with the windchills this past saturday around midnight, today didn’t get much higher than 20. Found a coffee shop down Wisconsin ave that wasn’t overcrowded, thinking about making that a study spot for the time being. It works out ok aside from having to catch a bus down the hill.
Went and bought an ipod shuffle, realizing that I needed to buy a new flash drive larger than 128 Megs, I might as well buy one that can play music at the same time. Plus with the nanos coming out, Apple decided to lower the price of the 1 gig from 160 to 99 bucks. In more ways than one I think I like the shuffle better than the regular ipod, I think 200+ songs is actually a better amount of songs compared to several thousand, after a certain point you end up putting all kinds of crap that you end up searching/skipping through your playlists to find a song you actually feel like listenting to.
Besides, the mobility of the shuffle also is a draw, its small enough to fit in your pocket without you really noticing it at all. Pretty amazing to realize how far the technology has become, I remember the days of hauling around discmans and cd wallets, it seems like back in the dark ages before digital music.
Thought my mouse problem was over but I had a little surprise this afternoon with a trap turned over. Looks like we still have some holdouts, at least this one seems a lot smaller than the other ones, and it has been relatively quiet since the new years.
