So I've been thinking of buying a non-Apple mp3 player (ever since the Rio Karma, so that's about 2 years now) when I ran across this article at ExtremeTech. Perhaps a subscription based music service with enough music to satisfy me is the is the push I need to buy a nice new gadget. So I checked out, Urge, which happens to be integrated into Windows Media Player 11 and have enjoyed using it for 4 days of a 14 day trial. My only thought is that I wonder if the subscription based service will last. $15 a month seems like a sweet deal for all the music I can download, even if it's all protected windows media files.

No dodgeball until November works in my favor. I am flabby and out of shape. By November I can turn that around and be at the pinnacle of dodgeball fitness... or I can sit around and play computer games like Oblivion and Titan's Quest during my free time.
