Shuffle - for workout, where song choice is less relevant
Nano - mini Mini, where I need playlist control, but of a subset of my music (teaching)
Regular - all mah music, all mah playlists.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When the shuffle came out, I said "cute! tiny! but without being able to see or select songs, it's broken".
I said this until I saw one in person, at which point the CUTE! TINY! voices became waaaaay too loud for me to hear the other part.
But since I didn't have any money anyway, it was kind of a moot point.
[I still have not seen the Nano in person. I fear I would break from Teh Cute.]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Why it's OK to hate the Yankees:
According to this ($) extremely useful analysis by the Wall Street Journal’s Allen St. John, the cost per victory of a team good enough to make the playoffs is approximately $900,000 per. The White Sox made the playoffs at just $759,373 per victory while the Angels paid $1.03 million. In the National League, the Cardinals managed at $862,685 per victory while the Astros ponied up $921,068. The Yankees, on the other hand (with its $208.3 million payroll) led the majors with a ridiculous $2.2 million per victory, which is seventy percent higher than that of the closest competitor, the Red Sox, at $1.3 million. To root for the Yankees, therefore, is to root for the power of the money, pure and simple. You might as well root for Citigroup…

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

hub has one, and while I was all kinds of jealous when he bought it, I've never really tried to steal it. I suspect it would've been underused and thus a waste of money for me.

You really would. Here, my current lack of money is my friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto.
So, I do NOT feel better today. Stupid cold. Of course, I can't take today off from everything as I did yesterday, as my paper doesn't seem to be writing itself. Stupid paper. Maybe an outline will help.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
They brought out the Nano right after I broke down and bought my Mini.
Likewise, Virgin Mobile came out with a cellphone that does MP3s AND camera. Right after I bought their cameraphone.
I sense a trend here.
Is there any other technology I should buy soon, so as to afford other people a chance to get their hands on some new, really exciting and/or useful enhancement?

Will someone loan me the motivation to eat the kashi I bought for breakfast? I've had it around for two mornings now and whenever I look at it I imagine eating sawdust. (Though since I've been eating apples in the mornings it's not a total loss...)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You really need to buy a flat-screen TV, Theo.

Similarly, everyone I work with ends up with sprog. So if anyone's trying to conceive, hire me. The job need not (in fact, had better not, given my skill set) be directly sprog-related.
