It's official, I'm a junkie...

Ok, I'll admit I'm not what you would call an early adopter. I still have old style tube TV's. Not even a flat front tube TV. My cell phone is pretty basic. No smart phones for me. Hell, we don't even have a DVR or Tivo.

A year ago, I refused to even consider getting on Facebook because that was noting but a bunch of stupid kids, no place for a responsible adult to spend any time. At Christmas, I told my sister I didn't have a need for an iPod. The radio in the car was just fine.

Well, here I sit, blogging on the computer with the iPod touch laying next to me tuned into Facebook Mobile. It's official. I'm a junkie.

Of course, I'm still not up to current times, and I'm still cheap. If I wasn't so cheap, I would have picked up an iPhone, but I can't justify the cost of the data plan. I also bought the iPod used off ebay for quite a bit less than the cost of a new one. So, I get to hold onto my reputation as being sort of cheap, but I get to have a new toy also.

Now, I just need to figure out how to get some music on it for free. I did buy Bob Will's San Antonio Rose, and a few songs stored on the computer transferred, I just need more. I also found several cool "free" apps for it. I also discovered the the iFart was not as funny as believed, so it has already been removed. The blackjack game is pretty fun. I'll put more stuff on it as I have time, but so far, I think this it a pretty neat little deal.

On iTunes they offer free download of the week or cheap downloads. This week CCR for $4.99 an entire CD.

Thanks for the Ifart idea.

I bought an iPhone yesterday and am certain I cannot function without it after a few short hours.

the fart deal might be more fun with an iPhone. In the Touch without speakers, it's no fun. I don't need to listen to fake fart sounds through the car stereo of headphones - I can make better sounding ones on my own...
