Now Where's That iPod...?

Two years ago I digitized our entire (e-n-t-i-r-e) music collection and burned it to our new iPod. Now the little fella has gone AWOL and I shudder to think of the thousands of songs lost along the way.

As I wrestle with the implications of this loss, a post on ubergizmo gave me good reason to feel good about it. Perhaps our humble iPod has gone on to bigger causes, namely saving the lives of those under fire from AK-47s.

"U.S. Army soldier Kevin Garrad has his iPod to thank after the device sacrificially took a bullet from an AK-47, slowing the bullet down enough to be stopped by the Interceptor body armor vest Garrad was wearing."

All joking aside, it's a fascinating tale Steve Jobs is likely to enjoy reading. But if you see our lost iPod (last seen wearing a pink and white leather commemorative breast cancer jacket) be sure to let us know. Somewhere there's a soldier who might enjoy it more than us.
