As you all know, I love my gadgets, hence people call me the GadgetMan. This was my nickname when I worked at a company and I was responsible for all the PDAs, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cell phones and other equipment. And I love technology and gadgets, so therefore I'm called GadgetMan. Anyways, besides that point, it was a nice day today, so I decided to wash the car. And everytime I wash the car, I usually use my laptop and use an X10 remote control to change the songs on my MP3 player.
However, since I've gotten a new laptop, I don't want to make my laptop dirty or have any scratches, and I have to install the X10 software on my laptop which I didn't do. So, I used my songs on my Apple iPod mini and connected to the speakers, and played music while I washed the car. It was great! Mind you, I had to go to the iPod and change the songs directly, since I didn't have a control. I suppose I could get a Bluetooth accessory (I've seen one) or RF accessory that can make the iPod wireless and use a remote control. But as I'm a PhD grad student, I don't have too much money as opposed to the days I was working full time during the dot com boom. Ah, I miss those days where I could buy new gadgets to accessorize the technology in my life!
