iLove my iPod

Gel1

I love this diminutive electronic device. I take it on trips, bring it to work, and use it for entertainment when I sit out on the deck and knit. [BTW, HAL is sitting on my Sundara Calla Lily socks. They are done and I'll have pictures in a day or two].

As a little treat for HAL and me, I bought him a new protective vinyl skin from Gelaskins.

The design by Spanish artist Alex Noriega is called Toxicity. He's since added another design called Volcano that I may have preferred, but I am still very happy with HAL's new little outfit.

I found the song I linked the other day through one of my favorite podcasts, the KCRW Song of the Day. [station link here]. It's not a selection I'd be likely to run across otherwise as many of the featured artists come from the UK or the rest of Europe. Rare gems abound.

Those IPod covers are delightful - I've been too nervous to take the original plastic off the face, so thank you for keeping me in style.

The IPod skin looks great on your socks!

I love Alex Noriega! Your socks look great, too.

Oh, and I've been enjoying "Radio Paradise" from you sidebar link for a couple of weeks now.

Ooh! Thanks for posting the link! I think I'll buy the roses one. (And I am NOT a pink-y or girl-y girl!) I see too that they're in Toronto which makes it even more fabulous; buying Canadian is always my preference.

Looking cool...I like how the colors of the knitting match with the skin :)

I love the Nano skin - I'm going to have to upgrade to this! I also love the socks and I am going to have to copy you all around and try to get into the Petal Collection when the gate opens again! :)
