problem with the Behringer one, is that I'd have to carry an extra RCA->3.5mm adaptor, if I'm going to be carrying that around. But optical out would be awesome. And volume control for the monitor out? I guess.. it'd be more useful for at home, tape->CD conversion things...

Day of Truth...

If it happens again this year, I may play the role of the dragon in this strip. Maybe. For my own amusement, most likely, since I haven't actually fully studied the bible to the point where I'd be comfortable sparing with quotes.

Mmm, a personal radio station...

You know, I was thinking.. instead of buying an iPod, I should just hijack one of the various antenna thingies in our main engineering building, and use that to broadcast music of my choice from a server stashed in some closet somewhere. So all I'll need to do is carry around a radio.. and maybe occasionally log into the server to change my playlist. Mmm, yes... it'd be lighter than an iPod too....
