friday mix tape
We recently had to buy a new (to us) car, as my sporty little '96 Saturn coupe finally bit the dust. The radio in our new (to us) car doesn't have a cassette player, no headphone plug-in either, so for now there's no option to play the iPod in that car.

mini update
I'm alive! Or, at least, reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I've been even busier than usual lately, mostly catching up on a project that got out of hand here at work. Not much otherwise of any real interest going on lately, mainly just the normal routine. I've been doing a lot of work with my various iTunes playlists, and am ( Read more... ) -
