Joining A Fad, A Little Later

It has been a while since my last blog and getting back to work has meant some adjustment. More interestingly, is that with employment comes consumer empowerment. That means your whole holistic being changes, as material options become available. I have been resisting the idea of portable music ever since my MD player became archaic with the MP3 and ATRAC revolution. And since then, I have only used my MD just to record interviews and such. But finally, after my very first encounter with that slim, white, LCD heaven of technology in an iPod, I have made my 30GB investment and got a Sennheiser to go with it, for better sound that those in-ear headphones which come with it. What exactly does it mean? For someone like me who aches for the latest phones and mobile technology? I think the reason was simply that I felt it was worth my EQ to wait until the technology became ubiquitous. I certainly did not expect that almost everyone will be owning one. But almost everyone has, and I am just about the last one who just bought one. And for the first time, in a long while, I doozed off to sleep with headphones again, sung asleep to a sweet lullaby...
