I’m easily amused

Yes, I do spend all of my working life and much of my recreational life on the ‘net, but I’m always ready to be delighted by technology anew. This week’s wonder in the candy store is the tracking service from Fedex. I ordered my new iPod (the Touch, not the Phone , cuz Rogers is getting enough of my money already) on the weekend and Apple kindly provided a link for me to track its progress. My new toy is taking an interesting trip. It left Kunshan, China, on Monday, got to Shanghai Tuesday, then Anchorage later the same day (although with the time zones, it seemed to go backwards a bit). This morning in the wee hours it arrived in Newark and already as I drink my morning tea, it sits tantalizingly in Mississauga. It’s scheduled to make it into my hands by tomorrow.
