Today, in search of further sales, we went to the local Factory Outlet centre (Direct Factory Outlet in Fyshwick). Fortunately DFO now has a few electronic stores that I can spend my time in instead of clothing and footware stores. Hey, I only need 3 pairs of shoes in total, so the need for new shoes only occurs once a year or so.
So far, at the sales I've picked up a neat LCD desk light and some iPod speakers (below) that were a present from Matt. I wanted some speakers so that I could listen to podcasts while I exercise on my treadmill. I've been using earbuds for a while now, but I keep catching the earbud cord and pulling the iPod off the shelf next to me.
It was a bit bizzare evaluating the various speakers. I took my iPod shopping with me so I could check out the various products by listening to how they play what I listen to, so while other people are blasting out their music, I was blasting out Buzz Out Loud and the ABC Science podcast. I had to test them out relatively loud because I want to listen to podcasts while using the treadmill, and I needed to make sure that I could hear it over the sound of the treadmill motor.I selected the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 because it seemed to have the best quality sound at high volume. Its remote control of the iPod works a treat as well.
I'll be giving it a for-real workout tomorrow morning while Karyn and her mother go shopping again (without me !!).
