iPod War #1
And so it begins. I'm abstaining from entering this time around. Who had the coolest iPod shuffle this afternoon? And by "coolest", I have absolutely no criteria to provide. Don't vote for your own! Gimme feedback as to how to make this actually cool and not just a snobby elitist exercise!
