Which means, either way, that divine beings (does Buddha count as divine? how about incarnations?) wouldn't use the iProduct currently on the market.
Divine beings use the godPod.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Buddha's iPod just goes Ohmmmmmmm. But with a house beat.
It also has "Dalai Lama", by Alex Chilton.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus's iPod would totally have all the songs on it. And I mean ALL the songs. It would be like the loaves and the fishes!

Also, Kristin, ah! Tucson totally likes carrots! In fact, Tucson likes a whole salad!
Yes! Especially north of Tucson. My family lives in Oro Valley in the foothills, and their view is unbelievable.
Also, good friends of the family own and run The Congenial Quail (a bed and breakfast): [link] that is wonderful place to visit. They are incredible hosts, and Laurie makes gourmet breakfasts that just might kill you with their deliciousness.

Emily, you don't know how tempted I am to email your post on Jesus, Buddha, and the iPod to a friend of mine who's a PhD philosophy student teaching an undergrad class on the philosophy of religion.

They all have "My Sweet Lord". They all think it's really about them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And if your iPod's battery died, you could go up to Jesus and He'd touch your iPod and it would be miraculously charged.
If the iPods hard drive died, Jesus would spit on his hands and place the spit on the iPod to revive it.
If He was feeling especially festive He'd touch your iPod and change all your songs to a higher bitrate.

A banner ad for Lowermybills.com showed up on my hotmail inbox. It has a pig with writing about lowering my mortgage. Said pig is stretched all the way out the length of the banner. It is 3Dish and on first glance up there at the top of the inbox does not look like a pig at all.

Can I get a statuette of Fanboy Jesus? Now I want one for my dashboard, and a "Fanboy Jesus is my Co-Pilot" bumpersticker.
Tucson! I'm so sorry to miss the wildflowers, but it was very pretty and greenish when I was out there in January. I recommend, along with the other things people have mentioned, Kartchner Caverns which is a short drive south -- we combined it with a visit to Bisbee, which was also fun.
Here's more about Kartchner, with more pictures: [link] (if you look at the picture on the page there, notice the teeny-weeny human in a red jumpsuit standing way down at the bottom next to the stalagmite.) Kartchner is one of the most extraordinary living caves open to human tours, kept secret by the people who found it and the family who owned the property until they could set up management of it to the best known modern practices for cavern ecology. The Big Room tour is only open until April 15th, when it closes for the summer because that's a bat maternity roost -- the other tour goes into a different bat-free area, so that's open year round.
