Time is Tight
Look what I got for my birthday. Fat Buddha was raving about this amazing iPod accessory a few weeks ago. If I remember rightly his was the victim of a red wine, dog calamity that ended in a wine soaked iStation.The sound, for such a small item is absolutely brill. The design is classic. The whole thing folds to the size of a paperback (albeit a hefty Picador, unabridged biography of someone who lived for fuckin' ages), for packing in your bag when you jet off here, there and everywhere. All in all, a bloody masterpiece. It's all set up and blasting out in my Eyrie as I write. Sadly my Audioscrobbler won't update off it so that might look a bit static. I'll leave it there as snapshot of my musical journey in the early 21st century.
A few weeks ago I had a small accident which resulted in the loss of the 'o' key on my acquired laptop. This is becoming increasingly annoying. I can live with it but it's still annoying. I can't take it in work to get it fixed though because everyone will suddenly remember that I 'borrowed' it to
So, if you read the odd post without 'o's in it, just bear with me. I try to catch as many as possible, but some will always slip thrugh the net - like that one just did.

I love those little blue lights, sometimes I just sit and stare at them, awestruck.
Is it working again then?
Looks very posh. I have no doubt that it sounds as you describe. One day I'm going to have to get my old fasiond view out of my head that states Bass = Big.
Enjoyed catching up on the rest of your posts! :-)
... and one day I'm going to have to check my spelling before I "return"
I'm having trouble finding needles for my gramaphone. I once heard dried hawthorn thorns would work. Maybe I should upgrade to one of those.
So what do you do for an 'o'? Copy and paste? Could be quite a challenge to blog without using the letter o. I seem to recall some French bloke who wrote a book doing something similar.
Miraculously, the mutt only managed to knacker the AC adaptor, so I can't use it to charge the pod and it costs a fortune in batteries, still I love it.
Brom - It's not "Hi-Fi" as such - but it blows away a decent ghetto-blaster or mini-system for sure. The secret is in the woofer that folds down behind the unit to accomodate the iPod.
Mike - There's nowt wrong wi' thorns. If it sounds right to your ears then it is right. Up to a certain 'quality' of hi-fidelity, my ears just don't wrk any better so I can't tell the difference between a £1,000 system and a £20,000 system. (£20,000.....Jesus H!)
Mr Parrot. I can still 'key' the'o', so to speak (sounds like a porn novel that: "Keying the 'O'"), it just resides at the bottom of a quarter inch depression in the keypad that is causing buggeration and strife. But cutting and pasting ain't necessary. Yet.

Ah, but you can.

I use it; I uploaded three weeks of holiday iPodding into Scrobbler yesterday.
