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

I’m done

Captain’s Log, Stardate 05.17.2006 Blog book giveaway: My Thursday book giveaway is THE PREACHER’S DAUGHER by Lyn Cote My Monday book giveaway is BLIND DATES CAN BE MURDER by Mindy Starns Clark . You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for THE PREACHER’S DAUGHTER and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned. I’m done. At the beginning of the year, I made a goal of three books this year. That’s four months per book. I started this manuscript January 15th. I finished in the wee hours of May 17th, so it took me about four months, a day and a few hours. Yay me. I’m going to bed now. Yes, this is the espresso maker on the right, and a professional coffee grinder on the left. By the espresso maker, I mean the one I promised to my long-suffering husband if I got a book contract, as a reward for letting me quit my biotech job and write full-time.

I GOT A CONTRACT!

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.29.2006 I had a wonderfully funny blog post planned for today, but I got sidetracked by some news yesterday! Zondervan has offered me a three-book contract on my Asian chick-lit series ! I’m still stunned by everything that’s happened. The series is actually a 4-book projected Asian chick-lit series about four cousins who fall under the infamous family title "Oldest Single Female Cousin," and their ruthless, wealthy grandma applies pressure on each of them to improve their lack of love interests. I think the first book is tentatively scheduled to be released in August 2007. The blurb on the series is on my website here . Brandilyn Collins posted to the ACFW loop about my writing journey, and Tamara Cooper asked that I share it. And since you all know how much I like to talk , here it is. My writing journey: Like most writers, I have wanted to write since I was very young. (In high school, I wrote a fantasy novel that will never see the light of day ...

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 ...

ICRS Tuesday

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.11.2007 I started the day with a great meeting with Al Hsu , an editor at InterVarsity Press. We discussed Asian Americans—fiction, non-fiction, the church, family. He’s been in publishing for many years and is very wise. We had a great discussion. I also met his wife Ellen, who’s totally nice and is also into card-making! I wandered the floor and happened to meet Robin Jones Gunn. She asked if I’d eaten yet, and since I hadn’t, said to join her for lunch. On the way to lunch, we met Mark Mynheir, and he gave me a copy of his book, got The Void . Isn’t that cool? Robin has so much wisdom. I loved having lunch with her. She gave me such good advice, both professionally and spiritually. I hope I’ll get a chance to have lunch or dinner with her at the ACFW conference in September. I met up with agent Steve Laube, and walked with him to his next meeting, but on the way we were hailed by Cec Murphy and agent Jeff Dunn. Jeff had been the first editor to request...
