Jason asked if Jim might like an iPod Shuffle, but I said no, it was the calender and other stuff that he wanted more than just a music player&#8230;why? Well, Jason had received a free <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angieandjim.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/shuffle-silver.jpg\" alt=\"iPod Shuffle\" align=\"right\" \/>Shuffle as part of a rebate package and didn&#8217;t know what to do with it, since he already has an iPhone.  We discussed the prospective usage of a &#8220;little&#8221; &#8211; 1G &#8211; iPod with no touch screen or display and I said it would be great for listening to audio books or music on walks or while gardening&#8230; Long story short, Jason decided that <em>I<\/em> should have it!  Sure enough, he brought it this weekend and walked me though setup and downloading iTunes and all that jazz.<\/p>\n<p>Well, now I have an apology to make to my sisters and cousin for having given them flack about iPods and iTunes:  I have a real aversion to proprietary hardware and software and formats, so I  never jumped on the iEverything bandwagon.  Anyway, I humbly admit that I really love my little Shuffle and it&#8217;s super cool and I&#8217;m very glad to have it.  I&#8217;ve already been to the library to borrow some audio books (that I will delete when I return the CDs) and &#8220;Emma&#8221; by Jane Austen has made it onto my iPod first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got a present from Jason for Jim&#8217;s Birthday \ud83d\ude42 You see, Jason and I were discussing what Jim might want for his birthday and I mentioned that he&#8217;s kind of sort of maybe saving up for an iPod Touch, so money toward that might be nice.
