<< My neighbor is moving
I just can't escape them! >>

It seems that everywhere I look someone is selling an iPod accessory.  At first I thought it was good because small, independent companies make most of them and Apple is very a proprietary company, so riding their wave of success is good for everybody.  But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.  Am I wrong here people?

Over the weekend, we received a Sharper Image catalog.  I, being the gadget connoisseur that I am, began flipping thru the catalog to see what good little things I can ask Santa (my wife) for this year... I believe I've been good, although I could be wrong.  So I start at the beginning.  First few pages, iPod accessories.  No problem, this doesn't surprise me so I continue.  Almost 30 fucking pages in and the iPod accessory HELL finally stops, seriously.  I believe in some West African cultures this is known as OVERKILL!

As you may have guessed, I do not own an iPod and if I did (as most everybody does) I probably wouldn't notice this craze.  But I don't, so I notice and so I blog about it... my little contribution for those blinded by this little contraption.

So, I get into work this morning and check my email -no, my personal email... priorities people!  Good, a Red Envelope email, I like them as does my wife, I'll sneak a peek to see what they have to offer for the holidays.  For fucks sake, another fucking iPod accessory.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.  Another gray hair!

When will it end?  How many accessories can you make for one product?  

Here is my iPod accessory:
