Shuffle Back

I’m back to using the iPod Shuffle in the gym, this time with the Scosche TapStick.

5. Jobs’s Law: No matter how well last year’s cool tech gadget still works, it will seem utterly inadequate the moment the new version comes out.
10. The Unified Geek Theory: At present, the President of the United States, the wealthiest person in the United States, and the most trusted newscaster in the United States are all geeks. At the same time, movies based on comic book characters are routinely taking in hundreds of millions of dollars. The only reasonable conclusion is: We’ve won!
Harps and Angels

In the midst of a thoroughly enjoyable listen to Randy Newman’s “Harps and Angels.”

PocketTunes

Without much doubt, PocketTunes is the best iPhone Internet radio app. It includes full support for web-based radio stations, XM and Sirius support, scanners, weather, AAC+, and searching by any criteria. It holds a connection well across both Edge and 3G connections and switches seamlessly between both. And, with an update this week, adds recording support. In short, PocketTunes has all the features I’d roll into a radio app for the iPhone if I was designing it myself.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to brother Sean. I’m enough older to remember the day he was born.
