When we got an iPod our collective aural mode changed from Jonah, and Sam, and Grace and Kezzie taking turns picking which CD to pull from the visor and play while traveling up and down the Salinas Valley, to Jonah using an iPod with MB's choices. The kids music remains in the visors, with no overlap with the iPod repertoire. With the iPod Jonah is able to click-click-click-click-click click-click-click-click-click click-click-click-click-click click-click-click-click-click. At first this was good for getting the lyrics but he's beyond that to some wonderful place where sound just whips past, a few beats to his measure. I need to jack-in, to get a better understanding of what he's creating from the sequencing possible with the iPod.

But its the iPhone that's really revolutionary. Yes, its an iPod, synched to the (actual) iPod, so sound is there, modulo we go through ear-pieces and cables faster than some, as these are chewables. But Jonah takes pictures. I'm amazed by what I see going through Jonah's pictures.
