Geek lust

It started very innocently with the purchase of a CD.

That's Mike Relm. He's opening for Blue Man Group. Very cool shit. I didn't go to the show, but knew enough folks who went who said this dude was awesome. So I had to have the CD.

Then I ordered this, in anticipation of the new computer sometime this summer.

I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to bags. This thing is way bigger than I thought it would be. And it has a *padded* pouch for an iPod. And a little pouch below that for earbuds. Those wacky Brenthaven peeps. Ballistic nylon, an awesome pouch to keep the Powerbook (or Macbook Pro later) safe and sound. And I can remove the pouch and use it like a regular messenger bag. Which I'm going to do.

I don't think I need to show a pic of the iPod. At least I hope not.

But a new iPod means new earbuds. The red version of these caught my eye, but I got a great deal on this color:

Even though there is a recommended burn-in period, they sound pretty fucking outstanding. And by fucking outstanding, I mean I'm hearing things in songs I've listened to hundreds of times. It's really, really scary. The music is inside my head. Divine excrement, I'm turning into an earbud snob. And I think I like it.

As if that wasn't enough to drool over, I couldn't resist and bought this. No, I didn't finish the first one, gawd dammit....

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to kill shit in my new game and then drown in a puddle of my own geek drool.

w00t!
