\"candy<\/a> Yesterday we joined the podpeople: our new swell (orange!) ipod shuffle<\/a> arrived in the mail. All day long I’ve been misquoting Sally<\/a> in my head: “welcome to the twenty-first century.” Given how few people I see in the subway without little white wires snaking out of each ear, I’m sure that we are nearly the last souls in the metropolitan area to succumb to the ipod’s shiny tiny allure. Metaphorically<\/i> shiny, of course, as the ipod is actually matte.<\/p>\n

Today I took the ipod for a test drive to the gym. (Fitting, since the gym was the purchasing impetus: I’d complained over the weekend that no music playing = harder to work out, and Jonathan got a wild hair and ordered that lil’ pod right up.) And it went okay, though that I could still hear the thumping gym dance music over the Pixies. I’m paranoid about hearing loss so maybe I had the volume too low. Actually, I really hate those little earbud headphones, they kind of freak me out with their in-your-earness. Though these are more comfortable than others I’ve tried, and they didn’t even get as sweaty as I thought they would.<\/p>\n

Really, the size of the thing is incredible. It’s about 2 by 2 inches, and a quarter-inch thick. It clips onto whatever you want, kind of like an expensive, musical binder clip. About three seconds after taking it out of the box I squeezed the clip to open it and the thing shot right out of my hand (thankfully landing on the table). And I hadn’t even recently applied hand lotion to my winter-chapped mitts! Hope that’s<\/b> not a common occurance.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: two thumbs up, because listening to Doolittle makes the workout time fly by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
