I Never get in my car or on a plane wthout my ipod. I Have a little battery powered stereo speaker setup for listening when I am working around the house and don't want to have headphones on. For someone who flys as much as you I would recommend the ER 6i in-ear isolation headphones from Etymotic Research. They go inside your ear and block out external sound like the foam hearing protection things you use with your chain saw or power tools. The quality of sound is great. They block out the jet noise pretty well. I got them initialy to wear inside my full face motorcycle helmet on long trips instead of the passive ear protection most people wear. The sound quality inside a full face helmet is great. I also use them when mowing the lawn or using my woodworking tools. Again - why just block out the sound when you can do that AND have podcasts or music going? Now, as for podcsts I recommend: Audible.com for "books on tape". They have thousands of titles. If you are interested in computer security - "Security Now" with Steve Gibson of "Spinrite" fame. How can you not relate to a guy who stills programs everything in Assembly Language with notepad? He gets off topic and rants occasonaly but if you listen to his podcasts sequentialy from the start it's probably better than a course in security. I barely understand some of the in depth stuff on crypto but it is still fascinating. For music check out Magnatune Other Favorites: NPR Wait Wait Don't Tell Me Real Time With Bill Maher As you know from my visit I am addicted to podcasts.

And I'm glad to hear you had a relaxing Sunday, at least until you got to my blog. :-) Seriously, good feedback. I have a list of things I want to do with the blog, so a facelift is coming soon.
