New neckwear spotted at the 142

My roommate Nick has taken to wearing his new iPod shuffle around his neck, as advertised. When I first saw the ads with people doing this, I thought, "what kind of a nerd wears a gadget around their neck?" but now I have to admit, it looks pretty cool.

(I was also skeptical about the prospects of people wearing the iPod mini on their belts, but they seem to have taken to that okay.)

Also, bonus points for Nick, because not only does he wear the shuffle around his neck -- he drops it in the BP when not in use.
