Tom Keating http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/ I'm a huge fan of iPod. I've been dreaming about getting one for two Christmas's. Unfortunately, Santa (my wife) didn't fill my stocking with an iPod. : ( (She did buy me some cool accessories for my Viper though.)

Of course, I could just go out and buy one myself, but I decided to blow my cash on a Viper upgrades instead. Tough call. (not really. Viper wins by 20 lengths).

In one month's Viper car payment I could of course own 2-3 iPods, but I've got other bills to pay, including a new house mortgage payment.

Every news story I read about the iPod just increases my excitement of owning one at the same time torturing my soul for not owning one.

I came across this story from MSNBC that talked about the "iPod Nation" - the cultural impact of the iPod and how it has become a status symbol. The article also mentions how the makers of the "Lord of the Rings" movies used iPods to shuttle dailies from the set to the studio. Very interesting stuff. Check it out.

One day I will own an iPod. One day...

Technology is invading all areas of life. (I feel lost without my cellphone and Clie.) The iPod is one device that seems to be adapting to more uses than just the mp3 player.

I too, find myself longing to join the iPod Nation. Take a look at my mini-site http://ipod.pesola.us as a way to earn an iPod for free.

The article was fun to read, I posted it to my blog (http://blog.pesola.us) with a link back to yours.

It's got 1 gig, and is the size of a match-pack. It ships (from the Apple Store) on Halloween. It certainly did not cost me anything close to a Viper payment!

True. But iPods have come down drastically in price since I wrote this post in 2004. I think this post pre-dated the iPod Shuffle, in which case, you'd have to buy a regular iPod, which was going for ~$350 at the time.

So like I said, about 2-3 ipods = 1 monthly Viper payment! Least in 2004! ;)

p.s. I did get an iPod 10GB as a gift.
