I don’t usually complain about my personal life here – always seemed like a bit of a wankery thing to presume that everyone cares.
That said, I am currently sitting in a classroom (remember?), learning how to use iTunes and iPods. At the moment, we are in minute 15 of the lecturer patiently explaining to a roomful of fifty-year-olds why you can’t have libraries from multiple computers on one iPod.
He just mentioned hacking the iPod. I really, really hoped that he would go into the hacks. But that would probably go afoul of some law or another.
Oh yay, he’s moved on to playlists.
I. Hate. This. Fucking. Class.
Update 10:41 AM Apparently In The Future, journalists will be able to use iPods to record interviews. It will be amazingly awesome for reporters to have an audio backup, so that they don’t have to rely solely on their memory when writing stories. Why oh why aren’t there small audio recorders now?
Also, the tech utopianist hopes that by 2020, journalists will be able to use the web to do things that was old news five years ago.
