nerd alert: hands-free!

i will be the first to say that i have always hated on the wireless phone ear-piece and that i thought i'd be the last person ever to convert... well, halleleuja, my brothers and sisters because a convert i have become...

at the risk of out-dorking even myself, i hesitate to expand on my new-found love, but i feel inclined to give the readers what they want... or something like that... anyway, when i opened the iPhone box and saw the headphones i made the assumption that they were just straight-up apple ear buds. boy, was i wrong! there's a little "thing" [for lack of a better term] on the cord that acts as not only a microphone, but also a mini-remote! click the little "thing" once and it starts the track over, click said "thing" twice and it will advance to the next song, click it a third time and it does something else i have yet to discover but i'm sure is on-par with being cool... so yeah, i'm a big fan of this and mainly because i can switch-it-up with gloves on. what i love the most about going hands-free, however, is that when i'm iPod-ding with the iPhone and i get an incoming call, the music slowly fades-out and fades-back-in... it makes my conversations much more enjoyable which in-turn must make me more enjoyable to conversate with [am i right, mom?].

side note: at least the iPhone hands-free is nothing similar to blue-tooth hands-free. i could elaborate, but i'm not going to. apple=cool, blue-tooth=ghey.
