The new iPod Shuffle reviewed
A brand-new Apple iPod Shuffle arrived in the post for me yesterday, absolutely gratis. Didn’t I feel clever when I couldn’t find a way to open the box for over half an hour…
My Audible account came up for renewal last week. It was touch-and-go whether I would resubscribe, more go than touch, for a while. Regular readers might well recall me writing that for a time I couldn’t download audiobooks from the site, or get answers to emails, or speak to a real person. Profuse apologies, some explanation of technical changes that had been going on, and – the most important thing – speedy rectification of the issues went a long way towards making me think it was worth sticking with them.
Why ‘conservative’ poetry is only one thing, not the other
I find myself almost mortally offended by the discovery I made today that someone can take the words ‘conservative’ and ‘poetry’ and put them together to form a pretender to the title of genre.
I’m not in the habit of dissing other peoples’ blogs because there are so many I like and so many more I don’t like or even find utterly objectionable in content, but I make an exception today. Take a look at this one.
Scary.
