Less is More

A month or so ago when I switched from using a 40GB iPod brick to a clip-on style iPod Shuffle. I thought I would miss having access to my entire music library, but I really don't.
I never liked carrying such a big iPod. With keys, wallet and a phone my pockets were full enough already I'd have to carry it, or keep it in my bag and use the clip on remote control. I usually listened to it on shuffle anyway, skipping over all the songs I didn't like, so when my headphones started to break I could have spent another $30 pair of Apple earbuds (which fit perfectly, and I can comfortably wear all day) but I knew Apple sold refurbished iPod Shuffles for $50.
For just $20 more, I went for a Shuffle. That also let me get an orange one, which was discontinued when they changed up the colors a few months ago.
The day I started using the Shuffle was the last day I used my old 40GB iPod. With the clip and weighing nothing I take it with me all the time now and even though it can only hold a fraction of what my old iPod could, I haven't filled it's 1GB with the favorites and latest playlists I've set up for it.
Sometimes less is more.

After all the advertising and hype there is no way I could forget the iPhone was coming out today, though I did forget I'd made plans with Michael, I'm still impressed how many people lined up for one at Apple Stores.
When I walked by the downtown San Francisco store at 10:00 am, the line already stretched up the entire block and halfway up another. Even Woz was in line at an Apple Store.
Apple WWDC

The line for Steve Job's World Wide Developers Conference Keynote was snaking it's way through Moscone West when I walked by the conference center just a few minutes ago.
That means it's time once again to play WWDC Keynote Bingo! Courtesy ARS Technica, John Siracusa puts together a bingo card of both the likely and unlikely things we might hear from Steve Jobs.
I wonder how his bingo card fairs against some of the Apple rumor sites out there? We don't have long to wait. (I don't count macrumors.com as one of "those" rumor sites by the way, they are more of a news site about rumors if that makes any sense)
