ipod, I mean Ipod.. err.. iPod :)

At least this day ended on a very happy note. Finally, I am an iPod person. I have been contemplating the idea of buying one for a long time, but was trying to be careful with money things, then couldn't take it anymore and decided what the hell. But actually I finally did it because someone got it from the States a little cheaper than here, so it was a good deal for me. And I just got it half an hour ago. It's cute, it's silver and it's 6 GB :)

You know what, as I started blogging now and was writing the title I have been thinking about the weird way of writing the word. It's funny, isn't it, how we've come to manipulate upper and lower case letters like this. And, as odd as this may seem to some of you, I can't help thinking now of e.e. cummings (American poet). I remember when I first came to know about him when I was a 3rd year undergrad I think, and I used to say who is this weird guy who insists on writing in small letters, even his own name :) Well, apparently, he was ahead of his time. But of course e.e. cummings is weird in more than way.. I guess the following 'poem' can be said to reflect more than just 'orthographic ingenuity':

Weird, isn't it? But brilliant in its own way.

anyway, to celebrate the beginning of the iPod era, i decided to start writing things in small letters more often, a la e. e. cummings :) ok, i'll go play with my iPod now :)

p.s.
i will continue to write my name with a capital M because I like the way it looks in this font :)
