I have something better than will power

iPod and Will power: I visited the Apple store today. I held a new iPod in my hand. I walked away without buying one. I am going to stop talking about it now or I may go back.

A shortage of coin trumps will power anytime. If I could afford one, I’d have one. The U Bookstore can’t keep them in stock, so I’ve not seen one.

I’d be happy with the small one. I have a couple of reasons for wanting one. One, the job stress right now reminds me of nothing so painful as adolescence and music got me through that intact, or reasonably so. Two, it would give me either motivation or an excuse to continue with my analog to digital conversion project — converting all my LPs to CDs, MP3s or both. Perhaps just an extension of the first argument, I don’t know.
