Apple Affiliate Program
Thanks to Robert at Bump.net for the tip that Apple has launched the Apple iTunes Affiliate Program. Naturally, I have joined but I'll be suprised if I have any more success than I do with amazon where I have generated $2.87 only over the last year! Hehe.
I love my iPod Mini though. Running just isn't the same without it and the armband. The biggest boon for me was the addition of the iTrip mini, without which our disastrous road trip to Cincinnati the other week would have been unbearable. We hit the road at 7am from Chicago on a pleasant Saturday morning to beat the air show traffic. After just over an hour on the road Melissa (driving) inhaled sharply, followed by an "Oh no!". I suspected she'd just witnessed some tragic accident which hadn't yet registered with my own eyes but after just a moment longer she informed me that we had left the garment bag for the wedding dangling in the closet.
After 10 minutes searching for the exit we made the tough decision to turn around to collect it. Before we reached the exit there were several other candidates:
1. Keep driving and buy new clothes in Cincy.
2. Drive back and then grab a last minute flight there
3. Stay at home and sulk
By 10am we were back on the road again and ready to roll but man, that was a tough call. I prefer sulking but the wedding was a blast.
The iTrip fitted nicely into the trip because it sits atop your iPod Mini flush with the case and broadcasts your iPod songs at a selectable frequency which you receive through your car stereo. It works great in my Ford Focus and her Honda Accord but I understand certain cars have issues with it. Gary, Indiana also posed some threat to the signal I discovered, potentially due to the noxious smells we encountered!
While typing this post out I have received notice that this site doesn't qualify for the Apple program so now I'm curious why...
