My dog ate yet another power cord for my MacBook yesterday. between my iBook and MacBook, he’s chewed three cords over two years. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice it wasn’t working until my laptop gave me the low battery warning, despite being plugged in–meaning I had no computer all of a sudden, without warning!

PANIC!

I was forced to use my iPod Touch for 24h as my main internet access. I don’t have an iPhone yet as I’m still on a contract with my current phone. Plus, the plans here in Canada are WAY overpriced and not even unlimited. Even further, I really REALLY don’t want to have a three year contract with the one and only company that sells them.

For now, the iPod touch is just fine. I really have no good use for the phone part of it at this time. It seems that wherever I go, there is a perfectly fine wireless collection. And I don’t have any plans for cool live-blogging from helicopters or the middle-of-nowhere.

But, what I did discover was that it was, besides a couple exceptions, a perfectly good substitute for a full blown computer. Now that apps are downloadable, it is even more simple to use…particularly when it comes to facebook and twitter. Even google has an app now that makes using google reader easier. I just couldn’t watch the Big Brother live feeds, and I couldn’t join my favorite java chat room.

Hey CBS/Big Brother! I would pay VERY well for an application that allows me to watch the live feeds on the go with my iPod touch. I swoon at the idea!

Two more shifts until I leave for beautiful Victoria, British Columbia for four days.This jewel of a city is my destination of choice–for living. I was intending to move there last year, but it simply didn’t happen. It continues to remain my dream and I am considering applying there for grad school.

Ahhhhh…such dreams…

Time to start making some road-trip music mixes!
