Just For Nick - Very dull for the rest of you

OK so as I said before, maja was working some yesterday so took the opportunity to gadget buy. This post is for Nick, its cruel I know but I'm afraid the unboxing has to be done matey!

So here they are, with their premium headphones. Bless their brown little hearts!



Anyway, on with the show. I know you've seen all this before, but this one is actually mine and in my hand :p





Awww, bless! ta very much.


They hid the manuals and CD in a little flappy thing. Satisfying the manly desire to find hidden stuff. 'Course these 'Instructions' aren't for clever people like us, it's kind of like additional packaging. If it doesn't do what we want, I think the 'Instructions' are for doodling one while we work out the best approach.



I do love that all MP3 players seem to come with crappy little pouches that no one in their right mind would ever use!



Ok, on the inside. Hey! where's all my headphones and stuff!



There we go. Sneaky swine.



Installing Zune software, tooka while as it needed some updates.



You can see a little box there, thats got the headphones in it, it's pretty cool and the premium headphones work pretty well.
Also I chose to combine my first Zune experience with my first Iron City beer.





The radio is pretty cool, and allows you to switch between US, Europe and Japan. It's pretty good at picking up the station and track info, though the real test of it will be when I get to the media blackout area that is Surrey.


I'll end the torture now, yours will be with you shortly. Take solice in the fact that I still can't hook up my external hard drvie as I don't have a US cable, so I am stuck with the pre-loaded content for the time bein!

Imminent Zune-ness

Maria is working til 6 ish, so poor old Stefan has been volenteered to take me gadget shopping. He's picking me up from Maria's lab in a bit and we can go Zune shopping, w00t! This works out well asi will have an opportunity to get the gadget buying and playing out of the way while she is at work. We are all off out to some bars later tonight. [Edit]*cough!*Chicago*cough!*[/Edit] 49ers are on and Pedr is a massive fan, which means by default I have to want them to win.

I'll have some pics of Maria trying to look like she knows what she's doing a bit later, I don't have th cable with me. Luckily she also has a pocket cam so I won't have to take the monstrosity with me later, we can just use hers, huzzah! I am gonna pick somewhere out of the list Julie sent for the bar. Either that or I saw a place called 'Peter's Pub' on the way here. Depends how lazy I feel.

More soon. You're on the edge of your seat aren't you?

[Edit] I just had a big argument with Pedr on MSN. He said 'dude, the 9ers totally aren't on tonight'. As I am stateside for some reason I took his meaning of 'They aren't on' to be 'They aren't going to win', as opposed to the more accurate 'They aren't in the play-offs dickhead'. It's Chicacgo not San Francisco who are playing. Who said University education is a waste?[/Edit]
