I got 80G ipod classic in silver. I was hesitant about spending three hundred dollars on an mp3 player, but now that I have it I’d say its money well spent. I have years and years worth of priceless lectures on physics and other topics of interest saved on my ipod (thanks to the itunes university), providing me with hours of joy and learning while on the go. I also have a bit of movies and a season or two of some of my favorite TV shows…

Ipod seem to be going beyond the realm of simple mp3 player on the road to becoming the modern vellum. Maybe in the distant future people would play our leftover ipod in museums to gain insight into the zeitgeist of our era.

Got another book, the Perdido Street Station. People say it’s quite an interesting read, and since I have weakness for steampunk-ish things, this book might be quite a joy to read.

Filling up the bookshelf with sheer volume is meaningless. I should work at developing a sharp eye for books that I really want in my house, to be within my reach in solid paper form… 1000 books that I’d feel comfortable living with.

Practically lived in my workplace for the past week or two. I have a bit more time now, so might as well clean up the whole place…. My bookshelves are so dusty I can see little shiny dust motes floating in the air.
