Congratulations on your new iPod, Mom
So, last year, I did a three-part series for new iPod owners during the holiday season. This year, my father got my mom one of those iPod nano (PRODUCT) REDs, here’s the breakdown of what I wrote last year at this time:
- Congratulations on your new iPod, part one (Cases and freebie content)
- Congratulations on your new iPod, part two (Podcasting software)
- Congratulations on your new iPod, part three (The podcasts I listened to in December 2005)
I’ll post an updated list of podcasts I listen to now later in the week. Peter’s out of town, so I have a lot of freaking out work to do to get next week’s paper out.

Why the hell is (PRODUCT) part of the things name? And congrats Beau’s Mom. 🙂

It’d be silly if the name was just RED!

Yeah, but putting the RED as a superscript on (PRODUCT) *love the mandatory all caps* immediately transforms it into a non-silly name.
I notice you can also buy a (PRODUCT)RED gift card. I foresee this abomination of a name spreading. 🙁
Note to Apple: as groovy as you think (PRODUCT)RED looks when properly typeset, in the days of the internet most of your technologically literate users are not going to first encounter it that way, and not properly typeset it looks really really silly. Also, it makes no sense. Love Nicole.

Gah, turns out I can’t blame Apple, its the (RED) foundation people who came up with that. Please transcribe rant accordingly.
