matrixrefugee: the word 'refugee' in electric green with a background of green matrix code (Alucard)
...Till you have heard it through earbuds. Just got my first pair of them -- cheapies bought at the local dollar store; I've been using headphones on the laptop almost since I got it -- and I am blown away by them. I've been testing them using different pieces by different artists (Debussy, Dave Brubeck, Celtic Thunder, Hans Zimmer, Rammstein, Daft Punk -- Nobody ever said I didn't have eclectic tastes), giving them a bit of a work out. I've found I have to turn the volume down considerably, since these seem to have a heck of a lot more oomph to them than conventional headphones, such as I'd been using.

My only concerns: they block other sounds out a little too well, plus I think I'm going to have to take a little time to adjust to having the music playing Right In My Ear. This is very novel and rather exciting, since it allows me to hear certain nuances of sound that I thought were just the result of my senses playing tricks on me.

Our family has officially entered the 21st century: we now own an iPad. My dad won this little widget in a raffle at a plant grower's convention a month or two ago, and we -- or at least my dad and I have been eagerly awaiting it's arrival. He knew it was arriving sometime today, but imagine my surprise, when I came home from a somewhat long day of running errands to find it had arrived. Dad had it set up on the charging base, and all I had to do was download the software for it and we were ready to go!

It's gonna take a little getting used to: the pull-up keyboard is a lot of fun, but the scrolling throws me a bit, as it's the reverse of what I'm used to doing. But other than that, it is freakishly easy to use: almost easier than my laptop and slightly more portable.

Technically, I'm not the primary user for this thingy: it's my dad's widget, I'm just the one twiddling with it and figuring out how all the bells and whistles work. Which coiled take some time, heh-heh... Ah, yeah, that's it... ::shifty eyes::
