I had a few things I wanted to post here, and I hadn't gotten around to them in a few days, so I decided to buckle down and write them.

First off, I wanted everyone to know that I got a new 30gb iPod last week, and I'm loving it. I was going to buy it after Christmas with whatever gift monies I had received, but I got a fat dividend check from my insurance company, so I decided to buy it early. I haven't put all of my music on there yet, but I've got most of my favorites so far. The conversion from FLAC to AAC is a bit tedious, but I'll get to finishing it up eventually. I'm planning on using it mostly for when I work out.

Second, I wanted to let everyone know about a cool new video blog I've been checking out lately, called The Show (with zefrank). This guy is pretty intelligent and funny at the same time, and over the past year he's developed quite an e-following too. He's promised to put a new 3 minute video out every week day for a year, and the project ends in March, so it's not too late to get hooked. You can subscribe to the podcast of the show on iTMS, which means you could also watch The Show on your iPod, if that's your sort of thing. It isn't really mine.

I haven't been to the gym since Monday. In three days my energy levels have dropped, my outlook has faltered, and I feel like I gained 30 lb. I'll probably head over there as soon as I finish posting this.
