Whenever Iām writing a paper there are two albums I canāt get enough of: The Shepherdās Dog, by Iron & Wine, and Wincing the Night Away, by the Shins. I become obsessed with these albums whenever Iām working. I couldnāt tell you why, but playing them back to back on a loop is how I have written every paper since my third year of undergrad. At this point the association with essay writing is so strong that I canāt listen to them if Iām notĀ working, or I start to feel like Iām procrastinating.

Itās such a shame, because the only problem I have with the Palm Pre is the hardware. I love webOS, it is so far the best phone OS that Iāve ever used. But I really dislike the shape and overall feel of the hardware.Ā
