Over the last couple of weeks I have been starting to rip my CDs to mp3. The process is amazingly fast on the shinylaptop -- I've seen it get up to 16x speed, though it probably only averages about 8x -- and as a result I now have nearly 2 days' worth of solid music on this computer.

And in all that music and all those words, I still can't find the songs that really say the things I want to say.
