From the "Okay, I have to admit, that's fairly funky" department.
There is a new trend within the "exclusive, hip club of iPod owners" that I'll call "iPod 69ing" (although "Pod-swapping" is also kind of catchy...). The following bit from Wired News contains suggestive language and thinly-veiled sexual situations. Read on, brave reader, read on:
During his regular evening walk, software executive Steve Crandall often nods a polite greeting to other iPod users he passes: He easily spots the distinctive white earbuds threaded from pocket to ears.But while quietly enjoying some chamber music one evening in August, Crandall's polite nodding protocol was rudely shattered.
Crandall was boldly approached by another iPod user, a 30ish woman bopping enthusiastically to some high-energy tune.
"She walked right up to me and got within my comfort field," Crandall stammered. "I was taken aback. She pulled out the earbuds on her iPod and indicated the jack with her eyes."
Warily unplugging his own earbuds, Crandall gingerly plugged them into the woman's iPod, and was greeted by a rush of techno.
"We listened for about 30 seconds," Crandall said. "No words were exchanged. We nodded and walked off."
The article is definitely worth a read. Oh — and please practice safe Pod-swapping!
