Too bad AM stereo never caught on.
(Although I really have no idea if it was technically better than FM stereo.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone recommend a good news/rss reader for firefox?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I use the web-based bloglines.com, tommyrot, and I love it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I use bloglines.com myself too. It's good. Although I need to break myself of the habit of refreshing the screen before I've finished reading the panel -- it's a bitch to get back to stuff you haven't read yet. I could also do with a search function, for when I can't remember which feed in my tech folder mentioned iPods (okay, that's probably all of them--people are obsessed). It may be there --- haven't found it yet.

.htaccess question:
I have a working file which presents a specific image to all sites trying to hotlink other than a select few.
I'd like to make the logic more complex--I don't want to send myspace.com an image at all, because those people don't learn, and even the teensy "bite me" image is eating my bandwidth dollars. How do I set that flow up?

It took me ages to try the back button for this, but it seems to work.

But if I hit refresh (I know, stop hitting refresh) there's nothing to go back to.

Too quickly weigh in on the FM adapter/cassette adapter discussion.
I have used both and it really depends on your travel needs. The cassette adapter is quick and easy - if you know you will always have access to a car with a tape player. I carry and travel with the Griffin iTrip because it is so darn handy. I can use it no matter what car I am riding in or renting and it's great to have in case I want to play my iPod at someone else's house or somewhere where I can't plug it into a stereo/radio any other way. Even in Chicago, I can always find a station where I can get a clear signal - but I do have to hunt.
My favorite iPod accessory right now is my iGo. It is an iPod car charger that you can buy different ends for so that it can also charge your cell. One charger - for both! Genius.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I use bloglines.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
I was very pleasantly surprised at the sound quality when we plugged my old and much-abused tape adapter into the iPod.
OTOH, when it gets really cold, the tape player does keep trying to switch sides on the tape adapter.
