Shuffling around the house

My iPod shuffle arrived this afternoon. Hooray! It is so simple to use and is amazingly tiny and light. You have to see this thing to really get it. Sounds great too, although I haven't had much of a chance to listen. My son's had it clamped to his head ever since I got home. Coolest thing: plug it in, pick a playlist, click Autofill, you're done! Tomorrow will be my maiden flight with it.

My parents took C. to his Kung Fu class today, which is something they have started doing every two weeks to have some time together. Today was C's first time in the higher class as he earned his orange belt on the weekend. This means a 4:30 start instead of 5:15. I caught up with everyone afterwards at Penrose Fish & Chips. Here's their menu, unchanged in forty years: Fish & Chips (one piece of Halibut or two), or Fish, or Chips. Also Coleslaw, Pies and Ice Cream. Can you guess what we ate?

Update 1: My son has now displayed every known rockin' out symptom since attaching my iPod shuffle to his head: air guitar, kitchen table keyboard, air mic, head bobbing, mullet-shaking, grimaces, ass-wiggling, gesturing to the sky, and of course, incorrect lyric recitation.

Update 2: Just read this on the Wired web site. Apparently there are and estimated 16,000 iPods in use amongst the 25,000 staff at Microsoft's Redmond offices. I think the jury's reached a verdict...
