Yesterday, my brand new iPod Touch arrived via UPS. What's up with that. you say? Let me tell you, and you'll be running out and getting your own, on the next bus.
My Verizon cell phone is sue to get replaced free or cheap, as I've slogged my way soddenly through still another two year contract with the old Cherry Chocolate phone. It's a good phone, and I can't really see replacing it yet. It holds a lot of my favorite music and even uses an expansion card to hold more if I want. Great phone!
What I really longed for, however was a mobile device that would connect to the internet. Funny, not too long ago I was looking for a cheap laptop so I could connect to the web when I'm away from my beloved PC. Time marches along and hey! I'm a guy and guys want the latest techno goodies. Right? So I need a hand held computer to do my e-mail at 75 mph down the interstate while munching a taco and staring into the fuzzy screen of my vibrating GPS device. Everybody's doing it. It's ok!
As of yesterday, I can now send e-mails, read spam, check out anything on the WWW (that includes porn, you guys....I know what you're thinkin'), and even get maps and directions in case the GPS satellite is secretly out to get me. I know it is. I've already got Charo, my chupacabra looking into the situation, and expect results on that real soon. That's another story, however, and I digress.
This slippery little device is magical, I tell ya. It has only 2 real buttons but it can be controlled more easily and more precisely than any other mp3 player I've ever held in my sweaty little fist.
Here's the deal: Don your lightweight overcoat, and a Panama hat (it's Summer and hot as hell), go hang out near the playground, and snatch one out of the first kid who passes hand. Oh yeah. He got one. He only listens to rap music and hip hop, so you'll be improving his brain to steal it. Doing him a favor, so to speak. Then sneak behind the first hedgerow you see and start surfing the www. You'll find games to play, friends to chat with, YouTube videos to make you howl, and more entertainment than you probably deserve. In fact if you're reading my blog, I know you don't deserve that kind of pleasure.
This is the kind of high old time you can have on your own personal/stolen iPod Touch: (cut/paste)
