No Music Challenge [Day 7!]

26 07 2008

I’ve done it! A whole week without the use of the iPod app or iTunes! Although, it was really no challenge, quite easy in fact. I’m going to start doing a full writeup on the experience soon.

How did you all do?





No Music Challenge [Day 5]

25 07 2008

On the fifth day of my No Music Challenge, I cleaned the house. I wasn’t going anywhere today, whatsoever, so, I cleaned (god, I sound like my mother). Now, I use the vacuum pictured above. As you may, or may not, know Dysons are known to not loose their sucking power over time, this is true due to the EXTREMELY powerful motor inside. It truely sucks (yaay for puns!). Such suckage makes this vacuum 10 times louder than the traditional vacuum. Listening to my iPhone helps a lot. So, since I was in my house, I decided to listen to my Neighborhood on Last.fm (yaay WiFi!). Afterward, I went back to the Pandora app on my MacBook since I needed to clean my room for my girlfriend’s guests who are coming from Ohio and Illinois soon.





No Music Challenge [Day 4]

23 07 2008

Another day on my No Music Challenge. It’s getting quite difficult due to the absolute battery drainage that happens, and for whatever reason, I forget to put my USB cable in my car [my FM Transmitter has a USB port for charging]. Unlike most of the past days I was working in the morning, the prime time for me to listen to my own music instead of the muzak at my unnamed place of employment. [aparently some of it is new music, I just can't stand it, I'm sorry] I attempted to play Last.fm, but I’m guessing the stream bandwidth is too large for EDGE, so instead I listened to my beloved Pandora radio.

My Pandora radio station is called DanceDance, since it has music to dance to on it. The peak of my work day started as soon as I heard the intro to Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” [pictured above]. Somehow, in my mind I became Walken in the hotel. Needless to say, I was the only person in the whole building dancing.

What I’d like to know is: if you’ve been following this challenge, and have been doing it also, how have you been doing? Do you miss your iPod yet?
