Got my new nano fresh off the FedEx truck today. It's a bit alarming to see what's happened to the iPod in the last four years. My last iPod was one of the first generation 4GBs with the physical scroll wheel. This thinggie is about a fifth of the size, a third of the price, colour screen, and the same storage. Yoicks! The only thing I'm not keen on is the lack of firewire (my silverback G4 at work has no USB2, so updating is pokey), but my home machines have USB2, so I'm assuming that throughput there won't be too bad.
Also new (but the same colour) is my set of Bronx lace-ups from Keen. I needed something a little sturdier than my Finn Comfort standbys, and a co-worker was mad about her Boston models, so I took a flyer. On first wear, they seem as comfortable as everyone has been saying, and they look like they'll be mad durable to boot. I really wanted the midcut version of the Bronx, but they've discontinued it, and I was not interested in the Boston model: half the attraction of the Bronx is the to-toe lacing, of which I've always been a fan.
