Music Matters
Today I said a sad goodbye to my favorite gadget, something more important than ordinary conveniences like cars or furniture -- my XM radio receiver. I've owned it for three months, and it has humiliated my iPod into a sad dusty corner of the kitchen.
Unfortunately the receiver is no longer working, so I might be out of luck for the next month. I popped it in the mail, and turned on the regular radio for the first time in 2006. To keep my sanity I decided to tune to the classical station, and I've received the shocking reminder that I actually LOVE classical music. Why in the world have I been listening to Pink and Puffy??
It's an ironic sidenote that it was almost a full day before I remembered I could bring my iPod back into action. Poor, sad little mp3 player.

Oh no - you've got the curse of the first receiver! Sunday had a similar thing happen and so did her father. It seems they send you a working one the second time around, and after that you're usually ok.
That's good news! It's a terrible irony that I work for the consumer electronics arm of Echostar, and returns are just an every day 'whatever.' Until it's mine!
