I got my iPod today. There are no words. It’s simply amazing. And impossibly small. The pictures don’t do it justice. At first, I had a bunch of problems getting windows to recognize it, but I realized the problem was that my USB 2.0 (which was always finicky) needed to be set up with the right drivers. After that, it was amazing. The thing displays photos, has games, and all sorts of incredible extras. The one downside is that it doesn’t work on Macs and PCs. Well, it does but if you want to use it on a Mac you have to erase all the files on it. However, if you connect it to a Mac and it is PC formatted, it will charge the iPod. Which is probably all I would be doing if I connected it to a Mac. No one has outbid me on my computer yet, so it looks as if I will be in a world of brokeness. But at least I will have a PowerBook.
And that makes me cooler than you. :)

That Thomas guy from Brookings was online today. Either he unblocked me or he didn’t block me to begin with. I’m going with the former. I didn’t talk to him. I think the reason he blocked me was because I was far too eager to hang out. He posted new pictures on MySpace, and I really couldn’t picture us doing it. Maybe I will talk to him the next time he signs on.0

My dad is starting to doubt that I’m actually going to college. I need to stay in town longer.

I start my math class tomorrow, but I think I’m registered for the wrong one. The lady bamboozled me me into registering for something that she thought was the right thing, but I don’t know. If I show up tomorrow and they tell me to leave then I will know.

I put all sorts of pictures on my iPod, photos of Ben and Kelly and Dan and all my past friends. So no matter where I am, I will have cool people with me. Or at least their JPEG equivalents.

Well, not much else to report. I went on a three-mile bike ride as soon as I got music loaded on my iPod, and it was so great to just get out there and ride again. Luckily my car stereo has a line-in port, so I can just connect my iPod directly to the stereo with no FM transmitter. I do want to get a FM ransmitter, but I want one that complements the form of my nano, and those probably won’t come out until Christmas or so.

I’m absolutely excited about my iPod. I can’t wait to show it off at work tomorrow.
