And that's why you always leave a note.
When you have an iPod touch, you are invariably going to be faced with the same situation that I myself am currently in: sitting in front of your laptop, with its superior Internet surfing capabilities, yet choosing instead to traverse cyberspace on a 3.6" LCD touchscreen. Perhaps this speaks to the fundamental joy of the ability to "touch" the Internet, but in my case I just wanted to celebrate the Tom/iPod reunion with a blog entry written entirely from the iPod touch itself.
Taking this route has its dangers, however, as the browser I am typing this in can crash at anytime, leaving me only with the option of crying over spilt milk and the reality that rewriting anything quite simply lacks the magic of the original. And as far as I know there is not any method of copying and pasting chunks of text within this gadget, so any Safari crashes and this blog entry goes the way of the dodo.
As I was typing that the music that this iPod was outputting suddenly died; I fear attempting to resurrect it. Fortunately, instead of navigating outside of the cozy confines of this program, I can access the music portion of the iPod through two rapid clicks of the only button on the device's facade. The music revives.
Typing this was not as strenuous as you would think; in fact it is actually quite speedy. I have yet to master all of the fine nuances of this touch keyboard but already I am cranking out Tom prose just as rapidly as I do on the regular good ol' mechanical keyboard. Most of the lapses in writing can be attributed to the occasional bouts of writer's block that I experienced and my inability to spell than to any deficiencies of the software.
Christmas came early for me this year, and for that, not the enormous amounts of holiday music that I have to endure this month, I am thankful.
