At some point recently I noticed the tremendous stack of CDs I continually burn to stay on top of Dot Net Rocks, Hanselminutes, and AVRant.  I have to admit (maybe I'm old?) I completely did not get the whole iPod/Mp3 player thing for the longest time; I'm a dinosaur who likes owning physical media and my ancient car does not have a line-in.   I do my serious music listening on a two-channel system if that tells you anything. For music and podcasts, though, I've been wanting a portable media device.  An evaluation of the reviews of the 2nd Generation Zune and the GDC2008 announcement that some form of XNA would be coming to all the Zune editions and I decided I needed to have a Zune. I had originally decided on the 80gb zune since it looked cool online and it would hold the entire history of .NET rocks and my entire digital music collection, but seeing them in person, the 8gb is so much sleeker and smaller and portable feeling I ordered that one instead.  The 80gb Zune would be like carrying a second Tilt.
