Snowboarders and iPods

Posted by: David Bunch

Believe it or not, I do not own an iPod. I do, however, listen to mp3s on my handheld device (note to self: continue to beg my wife for a new handheld device as mine is now 3 years old, has no bluetooth capability...I digress).

The recent trend of talking about iPods on this blog stems from my fascination with this cultural phenomenon. I've even got another poem in the works (note to reader: see prior blog on iPod haiku).

Though I was too young to remember the Sony Walkman craze, I can't help but think that the current iPod rage is something similar, though in my estimation larger by far.

So I found it interesting when I came across this blog that said that Gold Medalist Hanah Teter was listening to her iPod during her gold medal winning snow board run.

Nice!

(Note to self: ask my wife for a snowboarding vacation so that I can try out my now rusty by 15 years skateboarding skills in the snow. Scratch request for updated handheld device and ask for iPod).
