An iPod Story

Wednesday, December 31st, 2003

I am just so excited about my new iPod that it inspired me to just sit down and actually try and make a flash movie. It started out well, but then when I switched perspectives I redraw images that were the same instance! Basically, that means that as I redrew the images for the new perspective, they were automatically changed for the old perspective because flash think that they are the same thing. It really got me all fed up and I tried to patch it up quickly and then gave up on the project. So far all of my flash experiences have ended in utter failure, but from these failures give me hope for the future!

By the way, does anyone else remember that they are a contributor, or am I the only one without a life?

Almost forgot, here is what I have of my new animation. You will need flash player to view.

Happy Holidays Indeed

After 3 hours or some hardcore mp3 reorganization, my music collection is now ready to be squeezed into my tiny new iPod. This shiny silver and white box is amazing! After trading in my easily emulated gameboy advance and overpriced Rio mp3 player (with a horrendous 128 mb capacity!) I was able to actually save my parents money by letting them get me an iPod.

Today I also played with the neat bold and italic options for posting.
