iTunes & Ehcache - You figure it out
Thanks to Greg Luck, I discovered something new in iTunes called My iTunes that lets you export your purchases out as RSS or as a widget to display on your website. Check out a sample of my purchases below - With DRM free music from Amazon, I'm not buying anything from iTunes that's available on Amazon. By the way, Greg Luck is one of the lead developers of Ehcache, which IMHO is the best and most widely used Java distributed caching framework.

iPod Mini - Daddy like! :)
I want one, now! My friends Chris and Douglas went out this past weekend and each picked up new iPod Minis. I got a chance to play with Douglas's mini today and I just feel in love. I already own a 30GB iPod and I want one of these Mini's now. I fell in love, there's no other way to describe the feeling of holding this sleek and cute little device in your hands. Apple just has an amazing eye for style in everything they do and they make just amazing looking, functional products. My iPod was the first Apple product I purchased and I was so impressed with the box the iPod came in, let alone the device. Chris always rails on the PC manufactures for the lack of imagination and I have to totally agree. Sony and Toshiba have some neat PC/laptops, but the rest of the herd seems to make the most generic, boxy unattractive machines. Now I just have to figure out how to buy a mini without my wife yelling at me. 
Update: Just saw this on MacMinute via. Erik's blog. Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Milunovich said that revenue from iPods should be around US$1 billion this year. That number is estimated to double to $2 billon by 2006

iPod Heaven
I’m in iPod heaven. My brother got me the new 30GB iPod for my birthday and I am totally in love with this MP3 player. Props to Apple for creating this incredible device and I love the new dock and remote that’s included as part of the package. I’m using this with my Windows PC and syncing works just beautifully via. MusicMatch Jukebox. I also use ephPod to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts.
Just started exploring FM transmitters and can’t wait for Griffin Technologies to release the new iTrip FM Transmitter for iPod. Happy Road Trip!!
