iTunes Remembers

I’ve recently switched from using Winamp to iTunes, mainly because I got an iPod Nano a couple of months ago. I know that there are plugins to make syncing work with Winamp but I thought I’d be a good opportunity to try out something new. I’ve been satisfied but not overly impressed until today. I was listening to a podcast of NPR’s On the Media on my way home from campus. Once at home I plugged the iPod into my computer, iTunes launched, and I was able to continue right from where I left off. Nice.

It’s so tough because iTunes is exactly what I don’t like in software: bloated, slow, and idiot-proof. Here’s the problem: it works so well. I’ve tried to go over to Winamp but things like podcasting, ipod integration, and organization keep on bringing me back to the most resource hogging music player on earth.

Meredith okay, car okay (minor repairs), and the feable old guy without his drivers license or insurance papers is also okay.

Worried about Prius, waiting to hear more about the accident. Very glad that Meredith is okay.

Impressed with the new Google Street View. I remember when Google Maps was new, I was blown away by direct drag. Web apps have come so far.

Watching Arrested Development while you get your teeth cleaned is great. Until you laugh.
