And every day i regret getting rid of it. And no buying one wouldn’t be the same, I want MY old blue iPod! before that I had a portable tape player that came with a fabric multicolour case in the shape of a dragon that doubled as a bag, and had speakers, but I mostly used that for audiobooks on holiday or sleepovers at my grandparents as I listened to stuff to go to sleep. At home I had a little green cd and tape player that was very round and very cute. In my tweens/early teens I decided to be cool and weird and ditch new technology and replaced my iPod with a cd walkman, and my motoroler razor flip phone for an old Nokia brick. (Mostly because I was bad for losing things and I was scared of losing fancy phones).

the princess diaries 2 soundtrack lived in my discman. our living room radio was for radio disney. the boxy glitchy little alarm clock/radio/tape player in my bedroom was for jazz. when cds lived outside of my discman, i could offer them a home in my blue and orange nickelodeon karaoke machine (just a small boom box w/ attached microphone lol, pictured here). & when i was 11 i got an ipod shuffle that i wore around my neck and filled with songs mostly by lemon demon and smoosh (smoosh had recently been profiled in american girl magazine).

Still miss it. Look at that form factor! Smaller than the apple watch today, clip on the back, built with beautiful machined metal. Love that the screen is single app size - Apple Watch is quite bubbly by comparison, doesn't feel the same. The swipe controls were so nice also!! Perfect to clip inside the pocket and put on some headphones.
Unfortunately - after many years - the buttons have lost the ability to actuate.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
