Wednesday, March 1. 2006A geek getting old![]() I don’t have an iPod. I don’t need one. If I had one, I wouldn’t know what to do with it, except selling it. I don’t listen to music regularly anymore, for me, that time has been more than 10 years ago. I used a simple Sony Walkman, and all CDs I bought got copied over to music cassettes. And I really don’t understand what’s the hype with podcasting. While I still understand high interest in music, I can’t imagine replacing music by spoken text in everyday life. People in underground trains and streetcars surely give their brains a rest and let their thoughts flow while listening to their favorite music. But can they really relax while following a (maybe even scientific) “radio broadcast” consisting of spoken text? Or have I misunderstood what a podcast is? But, I have a weblog. And I’m on Linux. I’m still cool.
