Is that a Nano in your pocket, or are you just indifferent to see me (the Nano is so small that this just wouldn't be flattering, see).

So I'm futzing around with the new Nano on the commute to work today (the thing is awesome!), when I realized (insert Old Man voice) that the first computer I ever owned, the one I was given when I went to university, was a 386 with a 20MB hard-drive and a 16-colour display - that's right, megabytes, and 16 colours, not inches. This was a decent, middle-of-the-road computer back in the day. Now here I'm sitting with a faster computer, better colour display and exponentially larger memory compressed into a wafer smaller than my wallet that is pretty much only used for musical entertainment. Man. Then again, I get impressed by toaster innovations (`you mean this Bagel button will only toast the sliced side of a bagel?!?'), so there's nothing deep or revelatory here, just exposing my age.

I was originally planning a bit of a rant about 24, and the political inferences therein, but discovered a blog that pretty much did it for me. Check this out, if you're interested.
