New iPod Nano - BRAGGING

Captain's Log, Supplemental


I already commented a little on Steph’s blog about this, but can I brag a little?

I just got to play with the new iPod Nano!

It was the black one, although I’d love to see the new purple color. It’s the same size as the original Nano, but with a cool elliptical shaped footprint.

The screen is the same size as the squatty Nano’s screen, but placed vertically instead of horizontally. I got to watch Monsters Inc. on the screen with the Nano turned sideways.

And the BEST PART! When you’re playing music and you shake the Nano, it shuffles to a different song! That just made my day. It also made me laugh like crazy. I spent a lot of time laughing, shaking, and shuffling.

I know, that sounds kind of lewd, but it’s not.

The only question I have is for runners—if you shake the Nano and it shuffles, what if your arms are pumping as you run? Or the jarring of your body as you run? I wonder if you can turn the shake-and-shuffle feature off for running.

Anyway, this new iPod Nano is SO CUTE!

I’m also interested to try the new iPod Touch. Supposedly it’s got a built-in speaker, which is pretty cool.

I know. I was just thinking about the runners. I mean, if you're jogging along, swinging your arms, is that enough shaking to change the songs?

They do look totally cute. I'm still stuck in the little tiny pink Ipod Shuffle era..... Someday I'll upgrade. Too much technology to stay up on it.

LOL. Have a great day!

I'm so jealous! I totally want the orange one.

But I definietly run with my old one, so that would need to be addressed. I'm sure they have some way to turn that off. Apple is pretty smart with their designs, so I can't imagine they wouldn't have thought of that.

Now I just need to figure out how to break my old one so I can get a new one...

Love the colors!

Sheri: I still use my Shuffle. It's easy, small, and exactly what I want sometimes.

Anne:
Don't break it--be GENEROUS and give it to SOMEONE IN NEED and then, oh, shucks, you have to get a new one. :)

Jen: I love them, too!

Okay, I have never had an iPod. I hadn't touched my old walkman in years and figured I had no use for one. Then I saw the iPod touch and fell in love. Mine finally arrived this week. It's not the new version with the speaker and it doesn't have GPS like the iPhone, but I love it! Now I just need to upgrade the software so I can start downloading games.

I love the pink, purple and yellow one. I'm suddenly thinking of selling my video and getting one of those when it goes out here. :D

"Sincerely" by TRUE (from Violet Evergarden)

I’ve been watching the anime Violet Evergarden on Netflix and it is possibly the most beautiful anime series I’ve ever seen. The animation by Kyoto Animation is top notch, the storyline (based on the light novel series ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン by Kana Akatsuki (暁 佳奈)) is emotional and unique, and the original soundtrack by Evan Call is out of this world. The vocal songs in the series are also really beautiful, but the best one is the opening song, “Sincerely” by TRUE. She not only has a beautiful voice, but the melody and lyrics are absolutely gorgeous. I can’t rave about this song enough. 知らない言葉を 覚えていくたび おもかげのなか 手を伸ばすの Each time unknown words come to mind, I reach my hand toward the traces they leave. だけど一人では 分からない言葉も あるのかもしれない But there may be words That I can’t comprehend all alone. さよならは 苦くて アイシテルは 遠いにおいがした 例えようのない この想いは とても怖くて だけど とても愛おしくて “Goodbye” is so bitter, While “I love you” carries a far-off scent. This incomparable feeling Is so very frightening… bu...

Window shopping

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.14.2005 Knee update: I went to the doctor today for a checkup, and saw his assistant. I’ve been concerned because there’s still inflammation in my knee joint, and it’s been almost 4 months since the surgery. She said she’d talk to the doctor about it tomorrow and call me. Sometimes he suggests laying off the PT to see if that causes the inflammation to go away, but I don’t know if that will work because lately I’ve been pretty active outside of PT. At PT today, the therapist did ultrasound and some sort of electrical current on the joint. Hopefully that will make the inflammation start to go down. I’ll know by tomorrow, probably. Writing: Mt. Hermon conference starts this Friday! On Thursday night, I’ll be at the Santana Row Borders bookstore to help out (and hopefully learn a bit, too) at a booksigning for several of the ACFW authors who are attending Mt. Hermon . That should be lots of fun. I had a good brainstorming time at ...

Simplification 2013

It seems like every year I realize I’ve filled my time with things that take up too much of my time! As I’ve been praying over 2013 during the month of January, I’ve been feeling I need to (once again) simplify my life. So I’m stepping back from a blog I contribute to. I’m also aiming for less participation in some of my Goodreads groups (that is truly a time suck! Fun, but time suck.) My book writing schedule is still very busy, so I’ll be doing no more critiques with my Story Sensei business in the first half of the year so that I can focus on my books, on writing what God wants me to write. I’m going to focus my energy on my own blog --I’m aiming to post 3-4 times a week, as well as posting contests more regularly. I’m also going to be more active on my Goodreads group and my Facebook page , posting contests there as well. And I absolutely DEPEND on those three outlets for help when naming characters, since many of you know how pathetic challenged I am in coming up wit...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...
