Goodbye, 2010, we hardly knew ye! Twenty-Ten has been a watershed year for me though I never really considered it like that before writing this.

Free Plug for Griffin Technology
I’ve been using Griffin iPod FM Transmitters in my car for a few years now and, I have to say, they have kept improving their product version after version and they have slowly but surely been dealing with all of the shortcomings I notice in the product. So here’s to Griffin, keep up the good work!
