I've been toying with a new iPod. My current one is a 10GB, 4-button model, and was at least a generation behind when I picked it up.

The iPod design has changed such that the iTrip transmitter I use in the car wouldn't work with a new one. What's my best upgrade option?

New iPod; new peripheral transmitter
New iPod + upgrade the car stereo to one with a line-in jack
New iPod; use the old as the one for the car; shuttle music around as I like.
Suck it up old man! You should be listening to your wax cylinders!

I'm leaning towards C. This is all a ways away, as clearly I have more important things to focus on right now, but I suppose it's good to have a plan.

U.S. Roombotics
I successfully dismantled and repaired the Roomba. +/- 2 years of crud sure can accumulate. Thank you, can of compressed air!

Okay, eep wins...

People on LJ communities are all freaking GENIUSES compared to the AICN talkback forum. That is all.

I sure am glad I bought all that frozen stuff at Trader Joe's...
It seems our microwave has died. Which wouldn't be such a pain if
a. it wasn't an over-range model (thankfully not attached to the stove)
b. B-Fest and a bonspiel weren't eating up my next two weekends
c. we weren't too busy to wait around for an installation, should we not want to attempt it ourselves.

At least they're under $200, so it's not like this'll have to be our anniversary gift to each other.
