After writing my dramatic iPod Death post, I thought it would be nice to let everyone know that I have a new iPod. Say ‘hello’ to… well, I didn’t name it. Um… say ‘hello’ to Chuck! Too bad I got a pink protective case for Chuck. Now he thinks he’s a girl.

Chuck is a 32GB iPod Touch, purchased used from one of my friends on the Interwebz (thanks, Huff!). In addition to playing music, Chuck does a crapload of other stuff. He’s like my iPhone but used solely for music, and he doesn’t make any calls. My niece already knows the difference between my phone and Chuck. She prefers playing with the Chuck now.

Are you creeped out by the fact that I’m calling my iPod Chuck and referring to it as a him? No? Awesome.

I have to admit that I miss the click wheel on Old Man iPod, but it’s nice to finally be using current iPod technology (which will very quickly become old). I’m mostly happy to finally be able to listen to my music and podcasts again.

Speaking of podcasts, I can’t say enough about The Nerdist. Chris Hardwick, will you marry me? No? Well… then, can we be friends? Please?

P.S. See? Having Internet friends pays off. Had I not bitched and moaned about the death of my iPod, I never would’ve gotten such a nice deal on a replacement.
