Zire?

it seems the industrial design team for apple computer controls the world. if you still need convincing check out the new Zire from palm. this inexpensive palm pilot has the same white plastic shell as the iPod! and it explains why i've seen so many cheap palms on sale with rebates in the past two months. the curious thing about this device? the name. it's Zire. Zire. what in the world does Zire mean? and i'm not even typing it incorrectly. i'm not leaving out any accent marks or hidden symbols. what a dumb name for a product. it's not like iPalm was already taken. the thing with that white casing is that it's got to be a magnet for fingerprints. of course, in this century everyone with palms reads their news from computers and not traditional newspapers. if i ever own a Zire, and i sure hope i don't, a dark casing is the first accessory i'll buy. (and suddenly their strategy of selling accessories has come to my attention)

in other news, the only moisturizing lotion i have at work is a large bottle of jergens soothing aloe lotion. i mistakenly bought it when i thought i was sunburned early this past summer. i smell like an old lady.
