First of all, allow me to say happy new year! I sure am looking forward to 2007!
Secondly, sorry about the fact that I haven't posted since... the other day... I forget which one exactly. It was about iPods.
Guess what -- this entry's about iPods too!
Looking back on Christmas shopping at Office Max... I cannot tell you how many items had a totally unneccessary iPod station built into them. I mean desk lamps, televisions... dishwashers
. Serously though, it's so needless 
. Why not listen to your iPod on the nifty little headphones that come with it? Doesn't make sense, right? Come on, does Apple really need to have a foothold in the household appliance/office supply industry? Anyway, I thought I'd give you a tour of things that I may have seen.
- Here's an iPod station, straight up. It really eliminates the hassle over those clunky earphones, doesn't it
.
- An iPod DJ mixer. Well, they sure don't make records anymore, now do they?
- You know, the first thing I look for in a car is whether or not it has an iPod docking station.
"It's our newest model; it has every electronic gadget or accessory you'll ever need in a car -- it's practically wearing glasses!" the car salesman says.
"Well," I start, giving him an inquisitive look, "you know... I would like to drive a car around that has iPod-cradling capabilities..."
"Oh... well... I'm sorry, but between the in-car teethbrushing system and the automatic channel surfer, we were not quite able to --"
"NOPE -- NOPE! DEAL'S OFF, I'M OUTTA HERE!"
- Here's some desktop speakers with an iPod station, just in case your original iPod earbuds break and you want to replace them with a $30 piece of equipment.
- Time, temp, alarm, radio report... iPod -- all the start-your-day essentials.
- iPods really rock.
- This thing works fine... until the speaker shatters your iPod with intense sound.
- Give up smoking, take up iPod.
- This one may actually make sense, as the backlight of the iPod screen goes off way too early -- especially when viewing photos. When the baclight's off, it's impossible to see the screen.
- An iPod port with a TV attached to it -- no, it's actually an iPod port with an FM radio transmitter attached to it! Looks like a screen, don't it .
