I'm Tony Bove, and I'm a fanatic about using iPods and iTunes software, the iTunes online store, the iPhone, blogging and podcasting tools, multimedia editing tools, and whatever's new. My shop, Tony's Accessories, offers a convenient way for you to buy any of the items I write about.

I write mostly about the personal technology that I use. As a writer, musician, producer, and consultant, I switch my roles of road warrior, audio recording specialist, computer industry gadfly, rock music historian, multimedia aggregator, would-be novelist, and harmonica player at any given hour of any day.
