I have the coolest clients! And today, I was reminded of that when I got the mail. Today, one of my clients sent me a “Happy Birthday” present for WickedWordCraft.com’s 4th birthday. Pretty awesome in itself… but what she sent was even BETTER than the thought…
JJ Murphy of WriterByNature.com sent me the coolest little sterling silver charm in the shape of…
I love my iPod. I really do. I’m always on the lookout for new accessories and ways to make it even cooler than it already is. To that end, I have been thrilled when I’ve found backpacks that are iPod ready (with a plug for earphones and volume controls,etc, right on the strap. (These were at Target, locally). I didn’t get one because I didn’t need a backpack (although with my affinity for bags, it was hard to walk away), and because getting one for my son would mean advertising to the world that he was carrying that expensive equipment with him to school — not a smart move, IMHO.

So, until right before the cutoff time of midnight last night, I looked — again.
I finally gave up and decided that my current go bag was ok, until something really moved me. It protected things well enough, it was ok. Then today… I pulled out my camera to take a photo of my son — who just got his shiny new driver’s permit. And the LCD crystal was BROKEN! It was ruined. I carry that thing everywhere I go. I NEED it. And there it was, broken and ruined.
I was working in town today — rather than traveling back and forth — and I had my powercord that I love — my iGo power SOLUTION. A bit more than a power cord, don’tcha know. And it has a short…
Want to watch the latest YouTube content on your 5th generation iPod? My favorite magazine tells you how and runs through those steps in an online-accessible article. I’ve not tried it yet, although my son is anxious for me to give it a whirl — for HIS iPod, of course. Here’s the link…
