I Shure Love My Headphones

The great thing about these headphones is that they are sound isolating.  I really can't hear anything when I am wearing them. Unlike the Bose noise canceling ones, they do this without introducing any white noise - it is really the fit of the phones that are responsible for this.

But it isn't really the headphones that I am thankful for - it is the isolation that they bring. I've always been a big fan of the sonic qualities and intimacy of music that is exposed by a good set of phones (I was going to call them cans like we did in the radio biz but I thought that might be misinterpreted..).

So when I saw my headphones sitting there, I realized that I really haven't been putting them to good use so plugged them in and got to work.

I don't really need sound isolating phones at work.  My office is woefully abandoned really, there is very little traffic through the hallways and people are generally quiet.  But when I got those headphones on and the music playing, I got a little lost.

So today's item for which I am thankful is headphone induced productivity enhancing isolation.  I highly recommend it.

On a related note, one thing for which I am not thankful is whatever I did to break my trusty BlogDesk software.  It is amazing how unproductive I am trying to write my last couple of entries with the web based editor.  Yucky.
