In my haste to get sounds from my iPod playing in my car as I drove to work each day I overlooked an important option. Rather than buying a fairly inexpensive solution like a Monster iCarPlay Plus Wireless FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod. What I should have done was research more and look into getting a new car stereo that had an auxiliary port so I could connect my iPod directly to the stereo and get much better sound.
Of course this didn’t quite hit me till I looked closely at the Best Buy flier this weekend. I’m not huge into music or car stereos but I looked at them this past weekend in the BB flier and lo and behold there were car stereos that allow you to directly connect an iPod or other MP3 player. This is fantastic. Then I looked at the $50.00 item I purchased and got very mad at myself for not researching this issue more. I could get a new stereo for $99.00 that has a connection for the iPod. Argh! I have to learn to be more patient.
Today I flew back from Pittsburgh. And I know I say it every time I go to that airport but I like the Pittsburgh airport because of the free wireless Internet access (Id say wi-fi but since I don’t know the actual meaning of the term I don’t want to incur Andy’s wrath for my using it wrong). I think every airport should make the wireless Internet complimentary. It would certainly alleviate some of the tension that business travelers face when they are delayed in an airport.
I got home with no drama except the flight attendant asked me if I would switch seats with a mother and daughter so they could sit together. Like a polite chump I agreed and I gave up the two seat row that I had all to myself. Oh well it was only an hour flight no biggie. I continued to read Skin Tight and also watched a few episodes of the Talking Tech podcast from USA Today. I’d love for companies to send me cool stuff to review like Ed and Jeff. Maybe I should write to some kayak companies to see if they would send me stuff to review on The Wired Kayaker.
Tonight Allison and I went to a surprise engagement party for Lindsay and Dave. We had a very good time there. I have some additional pictures from tonight.

Good thing I was there or else this arch would still be on the floor.
Take a look at this sponsored post that I put up about the movie The Ultimate Gift. I am very excited about this movie. Take a look at the trailer when you get a chance and if you can see it on the weekend of March 9th then please go see it. I truly believe that the message that this movie is trying to get out there is important.
