I love my iPod. I really do. What I don't love is my FM tuner that I use to connect my iPod to my car stereo so I can listen to my iPod instead of the radio. It is a piece of crap and I hate it more and more each day.
Mostly I hate it because I didn't spend $400 on an iPod to listen to static. I hate static. It's the number one way to drive me insane in a car. Put on a static-y station and I will be clawing at the roof in moments. There are two stations that work mostly okay on my FM tuner for the drive from Pleasanton to Sunnyvale. The music is mostly clear, except over the Sunol grade. Then it gets static-y. Grrrrr.
The FM tuner has started a new trick though, which drives me even more insane than the static. It is has started randomly turning itself off. As in it is plugged in, getting power, transmitting the signal from the iPod and then suddenly goes dead. Which means the car is suddenly filled with deafening, static-filled Christian rock or Spanish music (depending upon if I'm tuned into 89.6 or 91.5). Not fun. And I don't know what is wrong with it that it is doing this. *grumble spuz*
In other news, I now know what is going to be at the top of Freesia's and Smudgie's Santa Paws list:
I think I'll have to get two, otherwise they'd fight over who has to, I mean, gets to wear it.
