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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nifty iPod speakers.

Nifty in principle -- I'm not sold on the idea of the headphone jack supporting the whole thing.

It'd be cool to have a wired version that worked with the dock connector so it could power them too.

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

I'm not sold on the idea of the headphone jack supporting the whole thing.

Yeah. But I think it'd be OK with the weight of a Nano.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I was going to ask - any suggestions for good docking station/speaker combos? I like the iHome, but my wife doesn't want to have a clock radio by the bed, because . . . . Well, just because.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Gandalfe, my recs...

Basically the Bose [link] rocks but is pricey. JBL [link] is great too. I wasn't thrilled with the Altec.

Art Crawl!!!

I have a friend who as the Bose and loves it. I believe she found it slightly cheaper at an outlet mall.

Yeah, I really love the Bose. It's also got a remote which it very very useful though it wasn't a feature I would have thought about before purchase.

I know Kristin has a Bose too. I think I know that other audiophile Buffistas do as well.
