I want to update my iPod mini’s software, but I have it on “shuffle” and I want to listen to the 580 songs on it at least once. If I update the software, it resets the iPod and I have to start over with a new shuffled list of the 580 songs.

I didn’t go to the gym today because I got a ride home and started thinking about the chip programming kit I got in the mail yesterday. Then, of course, I had to start building the kit and you can imagine why I never made it there. I only go three times a week, so if I get motivated enough, I can go tomorrow. Or not. My sister gave me permission to take the day off. (I always call her for permission to alleviate any guilt I have about not exercising.)
