I broke down...

... and joined the masses by getting an iPod. Cisco employees (although technically Gerald isn't their employee they still get the benefits) get an Apple discount, so it saved a little bit.

It's a new orange Nano and he had it engraved for free with "iRock" on the back (my choice of color & wording, of course). I think that's just about the coolest part, but as everyone else says, I'm weird. He also ordered me the clear case.

Anyway, the real reason I got it after never having any interest in one in the past... the Hybrid has an integration thing for it. Lovely.
