I have just returned from a visit to the Apple Store on 5th Avenue where I purchased a Belkin TuneTalk Stereo for my iPod. Now I'll be able to record audio on my iPod. It is the first step on my road to the Illustration Nation Podcast.

On a side note, that apple store is incredible. Not only is the glass cube entryway futuristic, I didn't even have to wait on line. Once I found what I was looking for some kid came up to me with a keypad, scanned the box and my credit card and said he's e-mail me the receipt. They all ready had all my information from my iTunes account. Imagine a day where cash registers no longer exists and people walk the streets scanning merchandise bar codes and credit cards.
