I can't get enough of Apple products. They are all genius.

You must have forgotten about the Apple Hi-Fi.

To be fair, by most accounts it had excellent sound, but it was a completely unnecessary product in a world crowded with third-party iPod accessories. Not to mention the infamous $100 leather iPod slip case:

Oh, and did has commandeered my "old" hot pink Nano and the matching Speck belt-clip case and neoprene arm band. He was on that thing like a vulture.

That reminds me -- my wife's Shuffle has been collecting dust ever since she got a Nano. Evil grin

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I think it needs to go for a run. Poor little lonely Shuffle....

Ha...so now did has a pink iPod AND he's e-mailing me telling me how much he's craving strawberry daiquiris. Tongue

I hope he at least gets me some beer! Big grin

You weren't kidding about him digging the girl drinks.

Seriously. His favorite drinks include daiquiris, mojitos, piña coladas, and the like. My girliest drink is a margarita, but don't blend that shit...I take it on the rocks--like a man! Tongue

mojitos

*sound of needle scratching across a record* Oh no you di'int! Don't you be bagging on mojito's! The perfect summer drink. My favorite tapa restaurant in Sacramento made the best mojitos and sangria. It doesn't get much better than that.

The biggest problem with frozen drinks is that you can't drink them fast w/o the damn cold rush. 'Ritas on the rocks is the only way to go.

Yeah, MOJOjitos are good...2x the rum! Evil grin

Exactly why I don't like frozen drinks. Slushies are for punk-ass kids! Tongue

True, but there used to be this place in Redondo Beach called Chillers. They specialized in frozen drinks. Slushies with a kick. A major kick. There was one called an Attitude Adjustment that used Bacardi 151. Another called a Suicide, which used pure grain alcohol. Try rollerblading after downing a couple of Suicide Adjustments, and hilarity will ensue.

Dude, I can't do that while stone-cold sober. Ask did about one of my first episodes on inline skates. OW. I ended up with massive bruises all up one side of my body. I still had the shadows from those hematomas MONTHS later. Running is much safer--at least any falls I might take are from a S-L-O-W speed... Tongue

I use to wear the Nano on the armband but one day I just threw it in my pocket and must say, I love it. The headphone cord is almost a perfect distance from ears to shorts. Occasionaly a clutter will arise but that's nothing that can't be adjusted. Nano FTW!

Roads, where we're going we don't need any....roads.

Hmmm...if I had to choose between my tunes or my Garmin I think the Garmin might win. Though I always seem to get the worst earworms when I don't have my iPod, so my opinion might change if I ran more without the music.... Tongue

The ipod shuffle is next on my list. I've only been running two years and I keep wanting to replace my first attempts at gear - first trading up the Polar HRM for a Garmin 305, and now the clunky Sandisk MP3 for an Ipod shuffle. What next? (I think it will be the fuel belt for a single water bottle pack)

I agree 100%. The Nano (older gen 4g version - not the newer bigger one) is fricking perfect. It fits exactly in the running short pocket, no need to hold it in your hand or strap it to your arm. I run the headphone cord inside my shirt down to my shorts pocket so no cord flopping around either. Had it for 2 years now - no glitches whatsover.

I thought you were from US's hockey country..... It's just like skating on ice, minus the hockey stops.
