A public service announcement... A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Just a snippet I saw in wired.com today. Pete Townshend is trying to get the word out that headphones can lead to permanent loss of hearing [LINK]. This has been a common warning to people listening to loud music for many years, but I'm guessing the current generation of teenagers and 20-somethings should take heed. Ear buds and headphones are pervasive these days, and based on the amount of your music that I can hear from across a crowded bus, the volume is turned way up. We should all think about turning it down, to save our ears and also decrease the general noise (as I've blogged about before [LINK]).

I can't wait for the day when we can do away with those pesky earbuds and just get them implanted directly into our eardrums. Imagine that bass reverberating through your bone structure!
