Radio for iPod's

I got an iPod 20GB for my birthday this year. It's great. I've talked to a lot of people about it. Here's my story about it. Remember in the 1970's we had big boomboxes that we ran on battery power and pumped the music up. In the 80's Sony brought out it's welcoming cassette player and meant things got a little smaller but it could only play for about 90 minutes before you had to change the tape. Then in the 90's we got CD players, which were a little bigger but you got better sound and a little more time out of them and there was this nifty repeat feature. Then in 2000's we got the iPod. My 20Gb iPod holds about 5000 songs, total play time, if I can get a battery that lasts this long, 14 days. I currently have 2200 songs on it and that's 7 days of audio files. But here is my problem. There are some days when I just want to listen to the radio. You can't do that on an iPod. I really think someone should come up with a way to incorporate an AM/FM radio with an iPod. I don't mind if it's an attachment, just about everything else is for the unit, but it's something I have been thinking about. Let me know what you think! You can email me by clicking my email link on the left or hit the tagboard with your comments. I'll have an NHL update over the weekend and I'll also tell you how much stuff is in that picture of my brothers truck. Have a good weekend.

NHL for 9-20-05

It's NHL time! Tonights pre-season action saw the Dallas Stars beating my Oilers in regulation 6-4. The Islanders played the Rangers (both of New York), and beat them. Toronto shut out Boston 5-0. Montreal thumped defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay 6-1. Minnesota beat Buffalo 6-3. The Los Angeles Kings beat Coach Wayne Gretzky's (yes, you're reading this right) Phoenix Coyotes 8-4. The Coyotes are 1-2 currently, Edmonton is at the same record. While I'm not exactly pleased, I haven't been able to watch a game so I have no clue how Edmonton is playing, I don't get to see them play till October 5. The countdown is still ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Oilers!

NHL on Sunday

Yeah, I'm late, big deal, you still didn't know what was going on in the NHL because it hasn't been on TV in the United States. On Sunday night, Edmonton lost in a shoot-out to Dallas 6-5. Florida, Buffalo, Buffalo, Chicago, Montreal, Ottawa, San Jose all won. Carolina, Columbus, Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto, Los Angeles all lost. You figure out who played who! It was busy on Sunday. Last night, was a little lighter. Columbus beat Pittsburgh 3-2 in a shoot-out. Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay defeated Detroit 5-3. Tonight Edmonton is in Dallas for the second time in pre-season. Edmonton faces Calgary a few more times in pre-season as well. That's all I have. Later.
