They say 2005 was the year of the iPod…
I was reading about the skyrocketing sales of iPods and iPod accessories recently, when I noticed a number of really unique inventions that make it easier than ever to incorporate an iPod into your daily life.
“For every $3 spent on an iPod, at least $1 is spent on an accessory… That works out to 3 or 4 additional purchases per iPod.” — International Herald Tribune

And Now… Some iPod Toilet Humor
I got my first computer in 1986 and immediately started writing, saving documents, and organizing my entire life on it. Thus began my love affair with gadgets and all things tech. I built my first website in 1998 in old-school HTML code — before websites were "a thing". Blogs weren't invented yet. It was the same year that Google was born. My husband and I created TheFunTimesGuide.com in 2004 — before YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and Mashable were launched. That was the year Facebook started and 'blog' was the Word of the Year according Merriam-Webster. Ever since then, anytime a new electronic gadget hits the market… I have to have it. (My husband's impulsive nature to try out every new tech gadget invented is even worse than mine!) When I'm not trying out fun new tech gadgets, you'll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
