My dear daughter Elaine and her hubby Ed gave me an iPOD shuffle for my birthday. Woooooo!! I got her synced up and loaded some things I had previously downloaded and am now listening. And what a pleasure it is!

Of course my choices of items to download may be a little different from most. The first thing I listened to was LSAT Logic in Everyday Life, a podcast by some folks at Princeton. Just the ticket! Now I'm listening to an ethics podcast. The nice thing about podcasts is that they arrive in my iTunes program whenever a new podcast is broadcast. I don't have to do anything but load it into my Shuffle. And what are some of the other podcasts available? This American Life!

Oh yeah, I hear you can load music into this too...
