Murray, GODSAVEUS, indeed! Good job. Maybe Bush should stop with the twisted and contorted acronyms and just start calling it “The Troubles”, since the IRA won’t be using that phrase anymore.

As of now, we’re at 863 visitors. That’s pretty cool.

Also of note, three people were nice enough to leave comments, all people from Fanatical Apathy. You folks rock.

Thanks to Adam as well, for allowing to me whore my site here.

All in all, it was the best 44th birthday one could have. My wife did get me this fine “Morse Science High School” t-shirt I’d been babbling about months ago. That was pretty cool.

Pete,
You’re clearly far more knowledgable about the electronics end of the car than I am. The thing that impresses me about it, I don’t have to know a thing. I just drive it and it works. And it has cut our family fuel expenditure down significantly. Oh, and it’s a blast to drive.

I’d love to find that slope. South central PA is pretty hilly but we don’t have downhills quite that long. At least that I know of. I’m still fairly new here.

Back to the topic, I was in a store looking over new satellite radio hardware. Not much has changed since this winter’s CES. I’m kind of surprised as there was supposed to be a few new pieces out this summer.

I want another satellite but I hate getting involved in a subscription plan when I don’t control the content. Sirius really let me down there. Maybe XM is the answer.

We’ll see where Adam’s new project ends up…

Thanks again to everyone.

And HBTY, too. How many hits did you finally score?

Now, while you’ve got ‘em over a digital barrel, ask ‘em to stream or archive the show, otherwise your Southern Hemisphere Felbernaut Glee Club (’shuffaguck’ to the afficionados) will miss out on another Felber bowstring.

Which reminds me - I take it our European brethren may also miss out on your digital piloting skills, or is Sirius available across the pond? (I can never remember if it’s Sirius and/or XM that’s the digital thingamabob or the satellite whosamawhatsit, mainly because of what happened to Iridium -sob-)

Adam, best of luck. I hope your show gets picked and maybe it will be time for me to reconsider booting the dog.

And now for a little birthday blogwhoring. My site, a site for Prius hybrid owners has about 700 visitors. I would love to see that jump up today. So I’m out doing something I’ve never done before (thankfully), posting about it all over.

If you have a chance, please visit it. No pop ups. No ads. Just a little site about a greener car.

Thanks very much.

I love the XM music channels, but the talk, she not so good.

What more, if anything, can you tell us about the program? Since it’s you I’m assuming it’s funny, but I got to say that I’m kind of sick of the standard format for just about every a.m. program on the Sirius streams — that being interview/call-in. Brian Lehrer, Diane Rhem, To The Point, TotN. Don’t get me wrong, these are good shows, but I would love a little programming variety in the before-noon hours.

Same here. Though I wouldn’t mind signing up for sattelite radio if only (1) I can afford the radio and (2) if I could afford the monthly charge because I needs me some new music to listen to. I’m tired of listening to whatever shitty pop/rap/hip-hop gets blasted out of cars and SUVs driven by drunken frat boys and sorority girls.

Lobster knows how many times I’ve strained to hear Adam through the static as I’m heading off for a road trip on Saturday morning.
