I think about my old laptop. I think about the iPod touch I’ve got. These devices would be full of distractions with the right software on them, with the ability to access the Internet, but instead they are now limited in their functions. And I’m kind of into that.

I want to build a cyberdeck, eventually. I like cyberpunk. One of my pinned posts is about building our own cyberpunk dystopia. We’re already there, it’s just boring. Anyway. The point of that is that I wonder what a “cyberdeck” like build would be for someone with my, less-than-knowledgeable, capabilities would be. I like to this about the iPod touch. I like iPods. I’ve established this fact a lot. There’s a lot of love these days for the classic, click wheel iPods. There is not as much love the the iPod touch. I think that’s a shame! I can run a Bluetooth keyboard with it. It has a headphone jack! It has a (not-so-great but kind of vibe-y) camera! I could put together a quick “kit” that would be personal to me. I could make a little case for it. Headphones, folding keyboard, and an iPod. Couldn’t hack into the mainframe, though.
