Now I have a lot of piled-up mail and business to deal with before there&#8217;ll really be time to post the many pictures we took. Anyway, we had fun: the weather held fair the whole time, which is a lot to ask, this time of year.<a HREF=\"http:\/\/gallery.ipodlounge.com\/ipod\/displayimage.php?album=lastup&amp;cat=3&amp;pos=2\"><img SRC=\"http:\/\/outofambit.blogspot.com\/images\/PodWithWhiteApple2.jpg\" BORDER=\"0\" ALIGN=\"RIGHT\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I stumbled across something neat, though. There&#8217;s a website called <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.ipodlounge.com\/\">iPodLounge.com<\/a> which caters to those happy folk who possess one of these sweet little things. (And one of those, as of a couple of weeks ago, is me.)  One section of the site is dedicated to iPod &#8220;travel photos&#8221; &#8212; pictures people have taken of their iPods in interesting places, and sometimes using the image reflected in the iPod&#8217;s mirrored back surface to show where they are (the <a HREF=\"http:\/\/gallery.ipodlounge.com\/displayimage.php?album=search&amp;cat=0&amp;pos=0\">Taj Palace Hotel in Mumbai,<\/a> for example).<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also an area where people can post pictures of <a HREF=\"http:\/\/gallery.ipodlounge.com\/ipod\/thumbnails.php?album=3\"> iPods as art<\/a> (check out the SnowPod at the bottom); and in another gallery, a contest has been going on for site users interested in designing new <a HREF=\"http:\/\/gallery.ipodlounge.com\/ipod\/thumbnails.php?album=4\">&#8220;concept&#8221; iPods. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well, I must have had another of those Corel Photo-Paint blackouts after seeing that, because I can&#8217;t think how else <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.youngwizards.com\/YoungWizardsComWizPodPage.html\">this<\/a> would have happened.  (The image also appears somewhere or other on <a HREF=\"http:\/\/gallery.ipodlounge.com\/ipod\/thumbnails.php?album=4&amp;page=1\">this page:<\/a> I don&#8217;t seem able to do a fixed link to it &#8212; the URL changes dynamically as new images are posted.)   Such a device does seem like a logical extension of possibilities we&#8217;ve already seen played out in earlier volumes of the Young Wizards series:  wizards in general seem to be almost the archetypal &#8220;early adopters&#8221;&#8230;so it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if one of these turns up in <i>Wizards at War<\/i>. We shall see.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I&#8217;m waiting for the first question about why the &#8220;bite&#8221; is missing&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So we&#8217;re back, and there was no time to blog, as it turned out: there was just too much stuff going on during the trip, both work and play.
