Griffin iTrip, Creative TravelSount
I do not have a line in jack on my car stereo. It’s a vanilla AM/FM radio, so I don’t have a tape player, either. I bought the iTrip, which allowed me to play my iPod through the FM in my stereo. If I positioned the thing just right, it only got static-y sometimes. 😦
SO, I cracked it open to expose the antenna, as described by this site. Unfortunately, I must have grazed something during the process and the iTrip doesn’t work anymore.
Anyway, I bought the Creative TravelSound portable speakers today. They aren’t ideal for the car, because the sound will be coming from the dashboard, not from the car’s speakers, but it sounds MUCH clearer than the iTrip.
New Features in FireFox 1.0 Preview Release
I listened to the most recent “From the Fermosa Tea House” podcast this morning. One of the hosts described several new FireFox browser features that I had not noticed, even though I’m running the latest version. The new Live Bookmarks functionality is a VERY nice use of RSS.
My new iPod
Last week, for Homestead’s 10th anniversary, every employee was given a 4th generation 20gb iPod(THANKS!). I’ve never owned one before, and I’m really jazzed. As mentioned earlier, I’m digging podcasts. I’m also very excited about the ipodlinux project. ipodlinux does not work on the 4th generation iPods, yet, but my fingers are crossed!
