Too small?


I hate how my first Apple-related post is negative. If you know me, I have always been a huge fan of Apple products. Apple recently introduced a new iPod shuffle and seriously, I HATE it! It is smaller (the size of an AAA battery), has a voice that tells you which song you are listening, and has 4 gigs, which is good. But the biggest downfall is its lack of buttons on the actual player. Because three buttons are on the earbuds, Apple forces you to use their earbuds which, to the casual user, might sound ok, but many people prefer other brands.
Apple is known for their simplicity of their designs. On the outside, this new Shuffle may look more simple, but no one wants to press the center button multiple times just to switch the song, as seen HERE. Apple, users want to easily controll their music. You had it right on the first and second generation Shuffles. Without the iconic Apple buttons on the front of the player, this new shuffle looks like a cheap knock-off that you would get from china. The new Shuffle, put simply, is ugly.
What do you think about this new iPod shuffle? Would you buy one? I definitely wouldn't.

Name Cards

Recently in Concert Choir, we got new seats. Each seat had a name card, telling all the men where to sit. At the end of the period, after my sectionals in another room and the girls sitting where the men sit, singing with Belnap, I found my name card doodled upon by Laura. The next choir day, I found a new name card and by the end of the period, it was also doodled upon. Thanks Laura!

The first one:



The second, and more random one:

Car Crashes


On my way home from work, I saw 2 car crashes. When I came upon the first, glass was shattered, strewn across the street. Cars were backed up, only down to one lane. The car itself, had little damage, except for the broken windows. The second crash I actually witnessed. I was headed up fourth south, going up the hill to the U, when I saw it; a van was changing lanes and didn't see the Accord behind him. The van pushed the car onto the tracks. If this crash had happened a minute later, the car on the tracks would have been hit by an oncoming TRAX car. Scary!

My NEW favorite song!

I have always hated Dolly Parton, until now. On Saturday night, Logan put in one of his two (seriously) cd's into his car. Alyssa and I kept on making fun of his cd which his mom gave him, when this jem came on. Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. We rocked out, dancing and singing along to this catchy tune, putting it on repeat all the way home!
