More New Words to Shake Sticks At
Via The Mommy Blog comes The Mercury News New Words with amazing new words like diberal, nonosecond and downloafing. Some are better than others, some are just plain kind of stupid. But some are decent words that may end up making my own personal and growing lexicon.

My personal favorite of the bunch is tediocrity - Overexposure to mediocrity.

Other News: Cheaper iPods for the Masses!
Jobs Unveils Cheaper iPods called iPod Minis in five colors and with the buttons in the old places (far more intuitive than the row of buttons in the newer generation) but are now under the scroll wheel to save space and to be even cooler than before. At 2 inches wide by 3.6 inches tall, these are small devices (think business card sized) and they hold 1,000 songs and work with Macs and Windows machines.

Not bad for a mere $249.
When Apple introduces the 20 gig Mini model then I might just have to pick one up. Or a 30 if my collection has grown substantially by then.

Apple has also introduced what could be a very cool new application called Garage Band that will bear much investigation. It is billed as an all in one music making and composition software to record and produce your own music. Nice work, Apple!
