TRACY JORDAN: I’m gonna make you a mix tape. You like Phil Collins?
JACK DONAGHY: I have two ears and a heart, don’t I?
After 3+ years and a lot of abuse, my old iPod recently gave up the ghost. So the other day I got an impossibly cool new 80G. Nothing lends credence to the unfortunate suspicion that men are really just larger versions of boys as much as the way I behave when playing with, talking about, or acquiring .
Last night I watched an episode of “30 Rock” on my iPod, on the bus, just because I could. I remember when I was a kid and I first saw one of those little portable Sony TVs (probably on a bus) and was convinced that allowing a person the opportunity to peer through fuzzy reception at a football game on a 2″ black-and-white screen was easily the best and coolest thing humankind would ever achieve. (And the device probably cost at least twice what my iPod did.)
Now that I’m much older and wiser, I know that, in fact, allowing a person to peer at a crystal-clear color image of Tracy Morgan and Alec Baldwin riffing hilariously is easily the best and coolest thing humankind will ever achieve.

TRACY JORDAN: Doctor, is is true that eating bread kills your brain?
DR. SPACEMAN: I don’t know, because the powerful bread industry keeps blocking my research.
AUDIENCE: [gasps]
TRACY JORDAN: Meat is the new bread!

How awesome is it to look at the little iTunes display across the bottom and see that 27GB of tunes in your iTunes library — and, therefore, on your iPod, because you no longer have to be choosy about whether to keep all 7 versions of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” — adds up to 481.5 days of music? That’s a long damn time. I’m not even going to check the math on that, because it’s so nice to believe. 481.5 days.
