was sick… move along

I had this post sitting in draft form thinking that I had already published it. That’s how sick I was.

I’m sick. Wah wah for me! Stomach flu is never fun. I need the stomach flu just as much as I need an extra ‘esc’ key. What makes it horrible is the inability to eat. Why? Because I love to eat. Eating is comparable to listening to cherubs of angels singing your name, but since I can’t eat the angels all got herpes and died. Today, I thought I was feeling better and attempted to eat dinner. Unfortunately, I tried to eat fried garlic-flavored spam, mushroom soup and rice today. I don’t think my stomach would’ve been happy even if it was feeling ok. The toilet has been my best friend for the last 5 days. Frontwards or backwards, the toilet is uncomfortable. Someone should perform some interaction design on toilets.

The Ipod is dead! Long live the queen!

When technology dies, it dies big. First it was my server’s power supply and hard drive, now its my Ipod. Granted, I’ve had my Ipod for at least 2 years now (and it has served me well). The battery life of my Ipod has been deteriorating exponentially as the days go by. It was lasting 10 hours, 2 days ago and 3 days ago it was 6 hours. Yesterday, my Ipod batteries lasted a full 2 hours! That’s barely enough to keep my ADHD in check.

So I’m in the market for a new mp3 player and I’m leaning away from the Ipod. Not because I don’t like Ipods anymore; I love them. The Ipod video is to big for an mp3 player and too small to be a video player. The nano feels like I can snap it if I accidentally sit on it (and I do have a tendency to sit on my electronics). So I need some help, which mp3 player do you people use? Or which one of the following would you buy?

• IRiver Clix - Yea, It’s only 2 Gigs but it can do (crappy) video and it supports flash lite. Can you say hackable?
• Creative Zen V - These things are soo uber cute, all they really need is some sort of Hello Kitty branding and every asian girl (and 20-somthing otaku like me) would be shooting each other to get one.
• Mobiblu DAH-1500i - Ok, I can’t really wear these things as earrings but I could bling-bling them as a necklace or a cellphone charm, I’d probably lose them though… or swallow them.

Picks? Suggestions? I’m open to anything really.
