Bloody amazing. Camoflauge, by Liu Bolin.

Hey cool! Via ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) yendi, Amazon is giving away the mp3 album of A Sound Legacy: 60 Years of Folkways Records and 20 Years of Smithsonian Folkways. And there are links to three free albums and a free single at the bottom.
I really like Amazon mp3s...you have to install a downloader, but it's very small and doesn't seem to have any spyware. No DRM. And the free stuff dl's just as quickly as the stuff one pays for.

I've gotten to the point in this lovely cold where my sense of taste has gone weird. Which is a real bummer, 'cause last night Jeff brought me a jamocha shake, and it tasted sweet and slightly of chocolate. No coffee at all. *mega pout*
Though, I will say that there's less cold today, and waking up wasn't too terrible. Yesterday, my voice was missing for a good while and breathing wasn't my best subject. Improvement. Yay!
~~~
Well...I don't think the fish would like it very much. I know they're not going to be sucked down into the sewers, but it still doesn't sound like a fun gig.
current mood:  okay
current music: The Lemonheads - Big Gay Heart

My dad told me a few years back that I'm not a hug person - I don't like to draw people close, I'm a handshake person and I like to keep some distance between me and other people. This is speaking both literally and metaphorically. It made a lot of sense at the time and now I tend to use the phrase whenever I have to describe myself.
In thinking about it now, though, I don't think I am going to consider myself a hug dude or a handshake dude. I am a high-five dude.

PDAs, Palms, and Touches
Way back when, in 1999, I got a Palm Pilot. Since I have a difficult time comprehending, well, time, it proved to be very useful for reminding me of to-dos and appointments—basically when and where I had to be. On top of this it provided contacts, notes, and the ability to run apps, like Pocket Quicken, which allowed me to keep track of my bank account on the fly. I really never needed more than what the original Palm Pilot provided, the rest was just niceties.
Basically, I bought it because it beeped.
Fast forward to today. I had gone through about 4 Palm Pilots since then, usually purchased used on eBay or from friends getting rid of theirs. I kept them in my wallet, as I never forget my wallet in the mornings. It's no use to have something that beeps if you don't keep it with you. Well, late last year, my last Palm, a Tungsten E2, died. I was getting pretty fed up with Palm at this point, and they're basically going down the tubes as a company.
I admit, I've been a bit lost without a PDA to keep track of things. Scheduling, finance, etc. have kinda disappeared and I'm back to how I was in the 90's: Disorganized. So, as part of the "Have Higgins get his crap together" stuff I'm working on, I got an iPod Touch last week. Not for it's iPod-ness, but because it's probably the best darned PDA I've ever used. Sure, the least expensive model is a little more than an iPhone, but I'm not saddled with a two-year contract. Plus, wi-fi hotspots are everywhere. It's not like I'm going to need net-anywhere ability much. Heck, I don't really need it at all.
It's got a calendar, contacts, notes, and a checkbook register app. And it beeps. That's all I really need, the rest is overkill. Nice overkill, mind you, but way more than I need.
