Deeply satisfied as my primary concern was ease of use and relieving my anxiety while driving.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-91099107984691704972009-03-06T17:37:00.000-06:002009-03-06T17:37:00.000-06:00I haven't been impressed with the audio fidelity o...I haven't been impressed with the audio fidelity of satellite radio.

Most of the time I was working with the running wristband GPS which I was constantly taking home with me and monkeying with. I even strapped it to Mel once and let him loose at the park. Good times.<BR/><BR/>C) I kind of hated the car devices (see A). I did borrow one a few times and never went the route it suggested.<BR/><BR/>D) I could have gotten a discount, yes, but it was miniscule and at the time those things were not cheap.

When you've got employees working on helping to develop a product, it's just good policy to try to put the product into their hands so that they can play with it and better understand how people use it.J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03903186469796595837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-54249204496343774912009-03-06T08:01:00.000-06:002009-03-06T08:01:00.000-06:00As I mentioned, I did the audiobook of Sarah Vowel...As I mentioned, I did the audiobook of Sarah Vowell's "The Wordy Shipmates" between Austin and Dallas and Dallas and lubbock.

Ah brother, you have joined us.<BR/><BR/>May I reccomend...<BR/><BR/>Audio Books. You can get them free at the library (they're freaking expensive) and burn them to your computer and thus to your ipod type device of choice. They will save your sanity.<BR/><BR/>Sirius Radio. I don't know if I can reccomend this since I keep hearing rumors of them going under, but it's awesome. And you don't have to listen to wacky religious types because there is nothing else available.<BR/><BR/>If you're going to be in Lubbock let me know. I'll try to swing my schedule to concide with yours. I go through there once a month.Michael Corleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441107947600810769noreply@blogger.com
