Today is grey and nasty-looking. Yes, I decided to ride my bike today. I decided it yesterday when it was sunny and pretty. Why must nature be so tricksy?

Grey weather makes me want to listen to plaintive teen rock or slow, folky, depressing music. I was going to listen to some Olive, but I realized that all of my music got nuked when my work machine died on Monday. Fortunately for me, I had not taken home all of my cds. I had both the blue and green albums by Weezer at my fingertips. This music would be perfect for listening to as I fight my way home on my bike against the wind. I know it really isn’t that bad outside, but the ride from work seems a lot longer for some reason.

I want to get an ipod-type device to listen to on the way to and from work, but I don’t want to fork over the $250-300 for a boring white box with a circular button. I don’t know. Maybe it’s a wonderful device and it will change my life, but I seriously doubt it. I just see it as the “it” thing to have and I just don’t think it’s worth it. I mean, there is so much more I could get for $250 besides a storage device with headphones. I still want something, but there’s got to be a low-cost, non-apple alternative that doesn’t look like crap.

Rant, rant….
And now off to fabulous teleconference…..
