iRhiannon



Rhiannon has a cellphone and an iPod. She made them herself at school today. I found them in her backpack when I was unpacking it this evening. The astute reader will notice that Rhiannon prefers a stick phone with a heart symbol in place of the hash symbol (aka octothorp aka pound sign aka number sign). The phone's wallpaper is of our one-year-old cat, Tony, whom Rhiannon likes to call "Big Fluff". Which he is. He is also trouble, but that's another story.

Rhiannon's iPod appears to be an older generation one that is more along the lines of a Shuffle with clickwheel but no screen. The headphones icon perhaps indicates that it's for sound only. Why she doesn't make herself an iPhone I don't know. She would only have to carry one device around instead of two. Maybe when her budget for art supplies increases, she will make one. For now, she enjoys having these, and one wonders when she'll upgrade her current MP3 player and Gameboy Advance.

I also wonder what music she will choose to put on the iPod. The other day we were watching the "Singing Show" and Ryan Seacrest announced that the songs were available on iTunes.

"DAD!"

"Yes, Rhiannon?"

"I have GOT to get those songs on iTunes."

"Okay, Rhiannon."

"DAD?"

"Yes, Rhiannon?"

"What's iTunes?"

Rhiannon. iCute.
