I'd Forgotten about Headphones
I've spent the last 2 years listening to music on my computer speakers
at
work which are, admittedly, pretty crappy. They do the job though, and
I can listen to them without bothering anyone else in the office.
Sara's new ipod made me realize that I've been hearing only the "top
layer" of music; the lead vocals and loudest instruments, for quite
a while now.
Strapping on my headphones for a bit has made me appreciate some of the
music that's been sitting in my collection unplayed for a while, and I'm
currently digging heavily on VNV
Nation as ambient "New
York Commute" music and even more enthused about the
Garden State Soundtrack.

In Praise of the Tungsten E
News sites yesterday carried word that new models of the Palm
wouldn't
feature OS6 despite earlier promises that they would.
The major benefits of OS6 are supposed to be multitasking and multimedia
support.
Right now, I'm listening to mp3's on my SD card and typing using my
wireless keyboard. Meanwhile, my calendar application pops up a reminder
to get fixings for dinner tonight. I'm doing all of this on OS5 with the
economy model palm, the Tungsten E.
Don't listen to the hype. Unless you're one of the people who will
actually use WiFi or bluetooth support for your palm, just get
the tungsten E. It's more than enough machine for anything your need
your PDA to do.
