Making an iSnob of me.
I walked into Staples Express today in Midtown to pick up some toner, only to walk by essentially what you can call an “iPod shrine”. Seriously, it had a bigger section than pens and highlighters, which in Staples, is a huge section. I pick up the toner and meander over to the iPod section to see if I can pick up a USB or firewire cord and a charger of some sort so I can hook this thing up to the computer, because one can only take a certain amount of this All American Rejects/Fallout Boy/Shania Twain(?) mix that is currently on the iPod. $45 for a charger that doubles as a cable! Made in China. Listen man - I have relatives there - I know this crap doesn’t cost them 50 cents to make. I leave Staples empty handed in terms of iPod stuff.
So, I went on eBay and bought a firewire plug and charger for this iPod. You know a product has been completely whored out when eBay is filled with accessories. Look at this BLING I found while looking for a pouch to carry this thing in. How do you make sure EVERYONE and their mothers know you have an iPod? Buy one of those things. It amplifies the “loudness” of your iPod ten fold.
Damn, this iPod is scratched up pretty bad, looks like homeboy dropped it a couple times pretty good also. Anyone know how to restore one of these besides taking my buffer out and waxing it? I wanna make mine as shiny as I can, so I can be an attention whore just like you.
