Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter




Are you still using one of those clunky cassette-style adapters to connect your iPod to your car stereo? If you are you need to consider getting the Griffin's iTrip FM transmitter.

The iTrip lets you transmit the music from your ipod directly to your car's FM tuner. Making it easier to connect without any of the wires. One down side is the sound quality. The sound through any portable FM transmitter is a bit less than great. The iTrip sounds good, though some interference is noticeable at times.

Unlike other transmitters of this type, the iTrip allows you to choose the broadcasting channel from a digital interface. Other units have preset stations that may or may not agree with your location. The unit works best with stations that are not broadcasting. That is why a station like 88.1 fm works well for most user locations.

If you decide to buy an iTrip the one above is a new model that runs for about $30.00 @ Walmart. Here is the link

Early Christmas Gift...


I usually don't do Christmas lists but this year the only thing I asked for was a pair of UGG slippers. Not sure why the UGGs, I really just wanted a comfortable slipper to wear around the house and didn't know of anything better.

In the middle of last week I saw that a Zappos box arrived. I knew it was my gift so I asked my wife, if I could open the box as an early Christmas present. I got the ok, and I opened the box. Lisa ordered me the UGG Ascot Shoe for Men "yay". I am using the shoes as a slipper but I've got to tell you these are the most comfortable shoes going.

They are very soft and the fleece insides keeps my feet real toasty. The wife picked them up at Zappos.

I hope you will be able to add this to your last minute list...or maybe just for another time.

Happy Shopping,

Shopping this season...

I spent most of my Saturday this past weekend shopping with my wife. I saw some changes in my holiday shopping in comparison to last year, but not really what I was expecting.

It is funny because with the current economic downturn, I was expecting to see some great sales. Unfortunately that was not really the case. I had been seeing commercial for sales on TV all week, so I was surprised not to have seen much at the stores. Don't get me wrong some items were on sale but not as much as I would have liked.

Anyway what I did see was less people and shorter lines. Though the prices were not that discounted, as retailers know holiday shoppers have no choice but to buy. It was still a great shopping experience, my wife and I managed to get all of our shopping done in a relatively short period of time.

All in all shopping for this holiday season my not be cheap...but it sure is easier.

Happy Shopping,
Angelo
