Apple IPod 30G Video

And You Can’t Bake It In A Pie Either

In case your monitor can’t display pictures, or you’re black-white colorblind, or you’ve never seen an iPod before, let’s make this clear: this iPod comes with white earbuds and white earbuds only.

We say this to pre-empt another ugly situation like the one we had with Millard, the customer who demanded satisfaction after we had the temerity to send white earbuds with his black iPod.

Not mollified by the fact that Apple only makes white earbuds, Millard grumbled that now his daughter would lack a properly color-coordinated personal media solution. So he went out and paid $29 for black earbuds somewhere else and laid the blame at our feet. Despite our humongous photo of said iPod with white earbuds, despite everybody on Earth except Millard knowing that Apple’s white earbuds are iconic and ubiquitous, Millard still insisted that we “do something to off-set my additional expense” because he “felt mislead.” We’re a funny species, aren’t we?

So for all you Millards out there, even if you choose the “Black” option for today’s Apple iPod 30GB Video, be advised that it will NOT include black earbuds. It will give you 30GB of storage space for music and video, a 2.5” 320×240 QVGA screen, and a built-in rechargeable battery good for 14 hours of music or 2 hours of video on a charge. And it’ll come in the characteristically stylish and hand-pleasing Apple hardware that has taken the world by storm. If you really, really need to play your Black iPod through something black, we know where you can find a cheap iPod boombox/docking speakmajig that will satisfy your peculiar chromatic fixation.

But black earbuds? Sorry, Millard. Not the way this whole iPod thing works. Before you spend thirty bucks to correct our “mistake”, here’s a tip: it’d be a lot cheaper to buy a can of spray paint. Sure, you won’t be able to listen to the earbuds after you paint them. But they’ll be the right color. And that’s really the important thing. Apparently.

The New Popularity of Singing Lessons

The new wave of television programs that includes “American Idol,” “You’re the One That We Want,” and “Dancing with the Stars” has done a lot to increase the popularity of singing and dancing lessons and studios. Many viewers have been encouraged to pursue dreams they aspire to, and that’s a great thing. It’s encouraging to know that contestants like Melinda Doolittle, who has spent years behind the scenes, finally have the opportunity to show off their true abilities.

Where did that ability come from and could it be found within each of us? It came from a desire to improve on what already exists, and yes, with the right training, many of us have a similar ability hidden inside.

Millions of children and adults take lessons in subjects they would love to excel at. It could be tennis, math, piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, investing—just about anything you can think of. These lessons can be taken with the intent to improve a career, a home, or just how one spends his or her free time. If you are intent on having a singing career, singing lessons are an excellent place to begin. They are also an excellent way to prepare for:

• Auditions for college and university music degrees
• Contests
• Performance auditions
• Studio recording
• The local karaoke night

Another important reason for singing lessons is to correct bad vocal habits. Fiberoptic research shows that serious damage can be done if nodules, cysts, or broken blood vessels occur on the vocal cords because of incorrect performing habits. Especially dangerous are screaming or growling forms of singing. These can leave irreversible damage if left unchecked.

Is a Singing Lesson Right for You?
Singing lessons will not necessarily guarantee a successful music career, but they can't hurt. There are many individuals who have a great voice but need a little assistance to bring out its real potential. Nearly all of the American Idol contestants who make it to the final 12 have had some kind of singing training before auditioning for the show. Some majored in music or vocal performance in college, some took independent voice lessons, some participated in high school music programs.

You might be encouraged to know that some of the biggest names in popular music continue to take singing lessons throughout their careers. Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and many more rely on trusted teachers and coaches to help them sustain the quality of their vocal performance. Josh Groban was discovered by his voice teacher, who later introduced him to high-profile producer David Foster.

While taking singing lessons helps an aspiring career, lots of individuals take singing lessons just for fun or as a way to build their self-confidence. Many parents provide their children with singing lessons to help them learn to express themselves.

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn, there are a number of choices when it comes to taking singing lessons. The most common has been the face-to-face lesson, but CD and DVD options are rapidly becoming popular because of their economical cost.
