iPod ShuffleGod, it’s 7:25AM and I’m awake on a Saturday. What am I thinking?

Well, I’m thinking that the Apple Store opens in 90 minutes, and my wife needs a new iPod Shuffle to celebrate her return to the land of the employed. (Woo hoo!) So, we are gonna take a quick shower, get dressed and head out to Walnut Creek. Hope they don’t run out. I’ll post an update later.

Hmmm. They didn’t run out: it turns out that they didn’t even get any. We showed up shortly before 9:00, and there was a line of maybe twenty-five people outside. When the doors open, a quick dozen Mac minis were sold, but they informed us they had no iPod shuffles. A call to the Emeryville store revealed that they had no shuffles either. Oh well, I guess I should just order one off of the website.
