I've got a big question bothering me, I really love the layout of your blog and tried to install the same theme on my WP website. Anyhow, there is some kind of weird coding error in the sidebar. Do you have any tips, which settings are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @FitTipz or via e-mail. First of all I’d like to say, well written article!

I realized it would be silly to take any kind of stance either for or against portable digital music players, so I decided to try to understand my own resistance to getting one. Now that we have the iPhone, I'm more likely to get the gadget, but I think I would mostly use the player for audiobooks when I'm walking, cuz walking and thinking are good combos for me. As for music, I still find most music too engrossing for complex sensorial tasks like... walking on a sidewalk, or withdrawing into myself in a crowded subway ;) Thanks William, actually it was a difficult post to write!

I like to have all my music with me, but it is true that i listen to certain song repeatedly and other a lot less. I just take that as i'm getting too familiar with my music, and i should be sampling more i guess hehe. lol i liked your post, very rationalised, but i still like my mp3 player and use it on a daily basis as a flash drive with all my uni work.

Believe me hosey I know I'm not that good. One look at Dennis Chang, Gonzolo Bergara, Kruno Specic, Adrien Moignard tells me all I need to know.
