Sweaty Ears!

Ok, so I don't generally get sweaty ears but... 


I am a rather sad individual and sometimes I go running for exercise and I would love to listen to music when I do. Not an unusual desire. I see many runners happily bowling along with their headphones in, however when I try to do this they just fall out, which is frustrating and distracting. Tp solve this problem I bought some little bullet type 'phones that you wedge firmly into your ear.  I thought I had cracked it! Except... that apparently after about 15 minutes of running my ears get sweaty inside, providing lubrication for said earphones to squeeze their way out. Very, very disappointing and gross. 


So I'm wondering if these little beasties could be the answer to my problem?

Ok... so I'm back after an enforced lay off due to family illness! 


Did anyone see the BBC documentary on 'Steve Jobs: Billion Dollar Hippy'? 


Whilst not necessarily revealing any new information, it was nevertheless an interesting insight into the man's psyche, according to those who surrounded him during the pivotal points of his, and the inextricable Apple's formative years. 


Notable contributors were John Sculley, who notoriously 'sacked' Jobs from Apple and Jonathan Ive, designer of the original iMac that first revitalised Apple's waning fortunes.


Worth keeping on in the background for an hour if nothing else!
