Is that the most mashed up 1RMB note you’ve ever seen? You can barely buy a bowl of rice for 1RMB but someone has taped up two sides of it- which is pretty tragic. Then I put it in the laundry by accident.

I’m tempted to put it out of its misery in the office paper shredder.

Anyone who isn’t marching with iPod’s clone army can turn away now, as I’m just going to talk about cool stuff I’ve found on iTunes.

If you’re still one of those people resisting the march of the iPod by the way, I apologise. I resisted until this summer, but just couldn’t find anything else that had a big hard drive but fit in your pocket.
It’s a crying shame- and once They figure a way to communicate directly with our brains using those white headphones, it’s all over.

The new podcast episode is up now. We have no way of telling how many people listen to it you know.

Here’s some great stuff I’ve found on iTunes:

  • The Fontanelles- Three Finger Salute. 
    If you just want to dip your toe in, have a listen to E-thing, or Told- but the whole thing is great tuneful, smart, limber indie-rock music.
  • David Sedaris is one of my favourite authors, and there’s a (FREE) recording of him reading from “When you are engulfed in flames” on iTunes. Lots of other authors too, including Simon Winchester banging on about China.
  • The Bugle is the best podcast I’ve heard so far. Please don’t listen to it in close proximity to anything I’ve done.

Oh and any bloggers, Microsoft’s Writer program is fantastic- way easier than the online Wordpress tool.

It’s a one day weekend in China this week! Hooray for Communism!
