ipod tip number 143

last night i was chatting with ailsa, who is on vacation with her daughter and her mother in hawaii, and after a minute or so she told me she had something to tell me...ok. good, i love a good story. shoot.
well, it turns out the ipod i lent to her so she could rock out on the beach, has some, um, things on it that are really not meant for children - like a six year old on the beach. see, on an ipod you can - through your itunes on your computer - put album art on for each song or album, duh. most albums you load onto itunes have their own album art that automatically loads in where the album art would go...and if there is none available, or if you want to put your own pictures on instead, you can. (see where this is going...?)
turns out a few of the tracks on my ipod have slightly sassy or saucy or downright nekid pics on them...yup. nudie pics on the ipod...so when say, aimee mann's version of 'one' comes on...the name of the song is there, and a picture..."mommy, is that aimme mann?'..."no, darling, it's a friend of hers..."
now, this didn't happen, at least not to the eyes of the young fiona, but it could have...dang!
so...here's my tip.
if someone at work (true..) asks you to show them how to move pictures into the album art folder...don't do a bunch to show them how to do it...and then not put everything back to the way it should be...or if you do don't do it with naked pics you got off of the net...
just sayin'
