Podcasts

I really have trouble getting podcasts onto my iPod. Today, for the first time with my new iPod, I managed to get some of Nathan Lowell's Solar Clipper books to actually sync with my iPod. Not all of them, but several. Why am I so bad at it? I don't have a clue...really.

Life's Hard

I've listened to Audible books for years.  Today I finally figured out that I can download a book without it being attached to the computer.  I download the various parts and wander about doing whatever is next on my sad little list, listening to my iPod.  When it has downloaded everything, I hook my iPod up, and then it syncs.  This is so much easier than hooking up the iPod and sitting there forever while it downloads.  I don't know if it is different and I just noticed it, or if it was that way all along and I was too simple to figure it out.  Oh well, better late than never.

Annoying IPod Problem

I buy cds and put the music on my iPod.  I don't listen to music often, I usually listen to audible books when I'm using my iPod.  But when I do decide to listen to music, the songs play randomly.  I can't put them in folders and just listen, for example, to Christmas music.
I don't want to buy the music from itunes because I'd rather have the cds.  So it works, but badly.  If I buy a cd, I can give it to somebody if I decide to.  If I buy it on itunes, nobody else can listen to it.  That just seems wrong to me.  For example, if I'm dead, all my itunes stuff dies with me. 

Gorgeous Sunday

The weather is beautiful, our flowers are looking enthusiastic, and I'm really tired.
I put out six loads of mulch and it will take a while to finish that area.  The lilacs we put out this year look good, but I watered them.  Why wait until the turn brown?
We took a shelving unit from the shed to the front porch of my playhouse (arts and crafts, greenhouse, etc.)
I sanded it as it was lumpy dirty from its stint in the shed.  I plan to paint it, but not today.
I've spent a while trying to get my iPod to sync.  I downloaded the update and now I'm not authorized to do anything with my iPod...including transfer the audible books I paid for!  Apple wants me to pay for a consult.  Well, at that rate, every time they put out an update, I could be paying them so I can use what I've already paid for!
Yea, Apple!
