Comparative Reality

After years of trying to avoid the inevitable, I'm finally sucking it up and loading all my cds into my ipod. I've been using it as an radio alternative, streaming online radio stations and copying a hundred or so mp3s at a time to the ipod, or else listening to a couple of podcasts. A bit of that each week would see me through my commute.

But now my favorite online radio station is dead (again), and that was enough to get me to finally load all of my cds onto my computer. Plus, my cds were banished to the garage almost a year ago when we started remodeling the house. After a few brutal purges, I have three boxes of cds. Each box has three rows, and each row holds about 40 cds. So, with the last row not quite filled, that's somewhere around 330 or so little plastic boxes.

I started this project a week ago, going through a bunch of cds every evening. I just finished the first box, which takes me from ABC to Elastica.

Yeah, I've got a long way to go.
