Now I’m a ‘Pod’ people

Yes, it’s true. I’m officially an IPODder.
For reasons I won’t go into, my good friend Steve gave Ginny and I a $500 gift card to ABT Electronics (he’s a VERY good friend).
Today we decided to go over to ABT to see what we could get.
Talk about a madhouse … I thought Frys was crazy, but ABT was insane.
Steve showed us some of his the kitchen appliances he’s getting for the house he’s building … and then left us to make our purchases.
After looking at various items, we decided to get the following …
- IPOD Nano 4gb for me, including
- Apple care 2 year warranty
- Arm band & protective skin
- Bluetooth headset for Ginny’s cell phone
- Clock Radio IPOD dock for Ginny
I chose the IPOD because my current MP3 player only has 256mb of memory … and I find it quite frustrating that it runs out of space when I try to put more than a few songs on it.
I wasn’t too thrilled with the size of the nano … but with the skin it’s got enough bulk (and protection) to satisfy me.
Oh yeah … even if you’re not shopping for electronics, I do recommend at least one visit to ABT to see some of their art installations. They have a huge fish tank, a granite globe that floats on water, and this really cool piece that has marbles rolling around tracks. Ginny and I stared at it for about 10 minutes.
The Dog Rang
Posted by david | Filed under Animals
I was talking to my friend Steve today, asking him if he had gotten an email I sent him, when he responded …
Ah cr@p, I started to answer that yesterday, and the dog rang.
Most people, of course, would think that he mistyped and was saying that the Phone rang … but this would be wrong. The dog did indeed ring.
Steve & Ruth got a really cute dog a few weeks ago (photo forthcoming) … named Polly (short for Polygon, I think) … and they’ve trained her to ring a bell by the kitchen door when she needs to go out.
So while most people would more often get interupted by a phone ringing, Steve & Ruth will get interupted by the dog ringing.
Update: Added a picture of Polly.
